2002 Las Vegas Desert Classic

The 2002 Las Vegas Desert Classic was the inaugural staging of a darts tournament by the Professional Darts Corporation. It featured the top players from the PDC along with an opportunity for players from North America to qualify.[1] Over 200 players entered the event, but the last 16 featured mostly British-based players - the only exceptions being Roland Scholten and former World Champion John Part who participate regularly in UK tournaments.

The total prize fund was US$100,000 and Phil Taylor won the title beating Ronnie Baxter in the final.
