The Masters (also known as the Cazoo Masters for sponsorship purposes)[2] is a non-ranking PDC darts tournament which features the top 24 darts players according to the PDC Order of Merit as of 2021.
History [ edit ]
The inaugural tournament, held in 2013, was won by Phil Taylor , who defeated Adrian Lewis 10–1 in the final.[3] James Wade won the following year by defeating Mervyn King 11–10 in the 2014 final.[4] Michael van Gerwen became the third different champion in 3 years when he defeated Raymond van Barneveld 11–6.[5]
In 2013 and 2014, the tournament took place in the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh , Scotland and was played in early November. However, the tournament was moved to early February in 2015 and had a new venue at the Arena MK (renamed Marshall Arena in 2019) in Milton Keynes , England . The tournament has been held in late January/early February ever since.
From 2013 to 2020, the tournament featured the top 16 of the Order of Merit , in a fixed draw (1 plays 16, 2 plays 15 and so on). The first round and the quarter-finals are played over best of 19 legs, the semi-finals and the final are played over best of 21 legs.[6]
For the 2021 tournament, the participants increased from the Top 16 to the Top 24, with the Top 8 automatically going to the second round and the players seeded 9 to 24 playing in the best of 11 legs first round.
