1998 World Grand Prix Darts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1998 World Grand Prix was a darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and held at the Casino Rooms in Rochester, Kent. It was the first year of the tournament and replaced the World Pairs tournament which ran from 1995 to 1997.
The tournament featured an unusual format in that players must start each leg by hitting a double - in addition to the traditional double to finish. It also featured a matchplay format of legs rather than sets for the only time in the tournament history.
Phil Taylor took the inaugural title, beating world number one, Rod Harrington in the final.
