Phil Taylor has announced his official retirement from darts – seven years after his professional retirement.
‘The Power’ won a remarkable 87 majors during his career, including 16 world titles, but he is now considering the next step in his career and teased that future announcements were in the pipeline.
His last professional outing ended in a heart-breaking world championship final defeat when Rob Cross beat him on January 1, 2018.
The 64-year-old has since remained a key player on the World Seniors Tour and has regularly played exhibitions.

Taylor, who will leave that and the sport for good, said in a statement: “After a long and fantastic career over the last 40 years, I announce that from today I am retiring from playing darts. It has been a privilege to be part of such a vibrant and passionate community.
“I would like to thank each and everyone for your support through this incredible journey. Your encouragement and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind my success. A journey which has enabled me to achieve more than I could have ever imagined.
“I am grateful for the friendships I’ve formed and the experiences I’ve shared.
“As one chapter closes, another one opens. This transition opens up new opportunities for me to explore and engage with the sport in different ways.
“I look forward to meeting fans old and new around the country and I will continue to update the website with future announcements. Please stay tuned for upcoming events, appearances, and projects that I am excited to undertake.
“Thank you once again for all the wonderful memories.”

Marchandova klasika. Vytočil soupeře, šel do bitky, ale trestu se divil nejen on
Obhájci Stanley Cupu na startu série tým Hurricanes zkušeně rozebrali, a domácím tekly nervy. Marchand za stavu 4:1 pro Panthers ve třetí třetině zkoušel trefit u mantinelu Shaynea Gostisbeherea. Obránce Caroliny se střetu na poslední chvíli vyhnul, za několik sekund ale cíleně vypálil pukem na forčekujícího Marchanda, což později sám přiznal.Floridský veterán si to pochopitelně nenechal líbit a strhla se krátká bitka. Rozdělení trestů ovšem hostující lavičku dost překvapilo. Gostisbehere vyvázl jen s dvojkou za hrubost, zatímco Marchand inkasoval 2+2 a navrch desítku za vyprovokování bitky.„Mám na to názor, ale nechám si ho pro sebe,“ poznamenal kouč Panthers Paul Maurice. „Každý hráč by měl mít právo hájit se v bitce, když do něj někdo cíleně napálí puk. Proč ho nemá Marchand?,“ ptají se fanoušci Floridy. V samotném závěru do Gostisbeherea ještě zajeli Jonah Gadjovich a A.J. Greer, aby ukázali, jak Panthers drží při sobě.Sedmatřicetiletého kapitána Marchanda vyměnil Boston před uzávěrkou […]

FIFA planning dynamic pricing model for 2026 World Cup tickets
FIFA is planning to sell general sale tickets for the men’s World Cup in 2026 under a dynamic pricing model, a system whereby prices fluctuate based on demand.So far, the only ticket packages available to purchase for the World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, have been limited to hospitality offerings which feature multiple games packaged together. Prices for those packages start at $3,500 per person, soaring to $73,200.AdvertisementIn response to this story, FIFA said that ticket sales for the World Cup are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025 via their official website and that further details will be released in due course.However, The Athletic has been told by individuals familiar with FIFA’s planning, who wished to remain anonymous to protect relationships, that the organisation is currently intending to implement a […]
Dynamic pricing is coming to the 2026 men’s World Cup. So what is it exactly?
The men’s World Cup coming to the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer will feature dynamic ticket pricing, a tool with the potential to send ticket prices soaring.As reported by The Athletic on Wednesday, FIFA, world soccer’s governing body, will use the automated system to set the prices for the 104 games being staged across 16 host cities. With 48 teams competing, this will be FIFA’s largest edition of the event and it’s the first time the tournament will feature dynamic pricing.AdvertisementThe pricing tool reacts to ticket demands in real time, so prices fluctuate in sync with the growing or waning interest of games. The tool, used widely in the United States for major sporting events and concerts, has become, to some, a loathed American tradition because it seemingly values profit over access for the average fan.Still, dynamic pricing […]
