Phil Taylor Wins Unbreakable Leads in World Matchplay

2026-06-23 · Phil Taylor · Player Focus

Phil Taylor has won 16 World Matchplay titles, with 99 games won at the tournament.

Taylor's win total is far ahead of any other player, with James Wade second on the list with 43 career wins.

He has competed in 24 World Matchplays, winning two out of every three appearances.

Taylor's lifetime win total at the World Matchplay is 99 games, averaging 4.13 wins per tournament.

His lead over Wade is 56 wins, with only five more tournament appearances.

Luke Littler had a rough start to his World Matchplay campaign in 2024, but a run in this year's tournament could be the start he needs to catch up to Taylor.

Taylor's win total is unlikely to be beaten, with Wade needing to win the tournament five times to get close.

And Taylor's dominance is unlikely to be challenged, with his stats showing no signs of slowing down.

Taylor's retirement from the sport was announced, but his legacy lives on, with his World Matchplay stats remaining unbreakable.

His impact on the sport will be felt for years to come, with players like Littler looking to follow in his footsteps.

But for now, Taylor's stats remain the benchmark for success in darts, with his 99 wins at the World Matchplay a record that may never be beaten.

Taylor's average of 4.13 wins per tournament is a testament to his consistent performance at the World Matchplay.

So the question remains, can anyone catch up to Taylor's win total, or will it remain unbreakable
