World Darts Championship Heritage Numbers

The 2022/23 World Darts Championship featured the launch of heritage numbers to represent the 440 players who have previously competed in the PDC’s flagship tournament.

Sportradar’s Steve Morgan has worked through the tournament’s record-books to determine the order in which all previous competitors have played in the tournament, and allocated heritage numbers accordingly.

The full list of players is below, and would be updated following this year’s tournament with the heritage numbers of the 22 debutants in order of then they compete in the first round.
