What is the name of the darts tournament first held in 1994 at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens?

The darts tournament first held in 1994 at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens is the World Matchplay.

The World Matchplay is one of the Professional Darts Corporation’s oldest and most prestigious major tournaments. It was first staged in 1994 and has traditionally been associated with the Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens entertainment complex in Blackpool, England.

Unlike many events played in sets, the World Matchplay uses a legs-based format and requires a player to win by two clear legs, subject to a deciding-leg limit under modern rules. The tournament is also famous for its distinctive summer timing and the demanding atmosphere created by its crowd. It is separate from the World Championship, the World Grand Prix and the UK Open, each of which has its own format and history.
