Phil Taylor holds the record for the most PDC World Championship titles, with fourteen.
Taylor won the PDC World Championship fourteen times between 1995 and 2013. His victories came after the 1993 formation of the World Darts Council, later renamed the Professional Darts Corporation, which created a separate world championship from the BDO event.
His PDC titles are part of a total of sixteen world championships, because he also won the BDO World Championship in 1990 and 1992. That distinction matters: references to Taylor’s sixteen world titles include both organisations, while the PDC-specific record is fourteen. Taylor reached the PDC final sixteen times and won the event in its first four editions, establishing an exceptional standard for sustained success.
