Phil Taylor set to make darts return in 2022 at star-studded event featuring John Part, Martin ‘Wolfie’ Adams, and Andy ‘the Viking’ Fordham

Phil Taylor is expected to come out of retirement next year and feature at the inaugural World Senior Darts Championship.

The 16-time world champion quit the PDC circuit in 2018, but looks set to end four years away from the sport at the brand new event.

Taylor, 61, is the headline name among several former champions invited to take part, including Martin 'Wolfie' Adams, Andy 'The Viking' Fordham, John Lowe, Bob Anderson, Richie Burnett, Keith Deller, Dennis Priestley, John Part and Les Wallace.

'The Power' will certainly bring fans out to watch and reminisce over his glory days, having dominated the sport between 1990 and 2013.

It is understood the World Senior Darts Championship will be held in London early next year, set up for players 50 and over, with £25,000 on offer for the winner.

Veteran stars, such as Gary Anderson and Peter Wright, won't be taking part due to the nature of their current PDC contracts.

Taylor's last appearance came at the 2018 world final, where he was beaten 7-2 by Rob Cross.
