The PDC World Darts Championship is the sporting highlight of every New Year period.
Whether it’s on after a post-work Christmas party haze or during the week between the big day and New Year when nobody has a clue when to put the bins out, the darts is a constant source of nourishment.
Gerwyn Price is the man to beat, but the usual cast of all-star contenders will return in a bid to dethrone him. Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright and more will take to the stage at Alexandra Palace for the darts event of the year.
