The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), originally founded as the World Darts Council in January 1992 after 16 elite players broke from the BDO, rapidly grew into the premier force in pro darts. Helmed today by Chairman Eddie Hearn, the PDC runs marquee events like the World Darts Championship, Premier League, World Matchplay, UK Open, Grand Slam, and World Series. It pioneered dramatic staging, global expansion, and youth‑to‑women’s pathways, distributing over £15 million annually in prize money. Its dynamic shows—complete with walk‑on music and pyrotechnics—have revolutionized darts as sport and entertainment.
