PHIL TAYLOR has revealed the huge sum of money that would tempt him back to the oche. The darts legend has been fully retired since 2024 - four years after leaving the PDC. Taylor, 64, won 16 world championships during his glittering career. But he has now hinted that he could make a spectacular return to the darts circuit. The Power has admitted that if the sport goes to Saudi Arabia, then the finances could tempt him back.

Taylor has suggested that PDC chairman Barry Hearn could be prepared to offer an eye-watering £10MILLION in prize money for the winner. Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “Would I come back?. "I would ask to be sent some darts and a dartboard, definitely. “I think also, if it does go to Saudi Arabia, I wouldn’t put it past Barry - £10million for the winner. “I think Saudi Arabia is that big of a sports country now, I think they could make it £10m.

Darts has been linked with a shock move to abandon Ally Pally to Saudi Arabia. Taylor would need to get his hands on a new board and a set of darts if he was to return. He does not have any of his own any more as his old possessions are now owned by his loved ones.

He added: "I don’t even have a set of darts anymore or a dartboard. "The grandkids have got my dartboard and my mates have got my darts.". BELOW is a list of darts world champions by year. The list does not include winners from the pre-Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) era or BDO world champions. That means Raymond van Barneveld, for example, is only listed once - Barney also won four BDO titles - and none of Eric Bristow's five BDO titles are included.
