The 'Winmau World Masters' is one of the longest running professional darts tournaments, which began in 1974 - even before the current World Professional Championship. The tournament has been sponsored by Darts board manufacturer, Winmau for 30 years and they have currently extended their contract to sponsor the event until 2010.
It is the final leg of the BDO’s Grand Slam title of televised majors, along with the Topic International Darts League, the Bavaria World Darts Trophy and the Lakeside World Professional Championship.

'Most tournament wins' ''5 - Eric Bristow''. Bob Anderson has three successes followed by Dave Whitcombe, John Lowe and Raymond van Barneveld who have won the Masters twice each. Anderson is the only player to achieve the hat-trick by winning in three successive years.
'Youngest champion' Michael van Gerwen (2006) aged 17 years, 174 days eclipsed the record of Eric Bristow
'Joint World Championship & Masters Champions' Only four players have ever won the World Masters and the World Professional Championship in the same season. Eric Bristow achieved the feat three times (1979 Masters 1980 World, 1983-84 and 1984-85). Bob Anderson (1987 - 88), Richie Burnett (1994 - 95) and John Walton (2000 - 01) were the others. There have been two other instances of players holding both championships at the same time (Phil Taylor 1990 and Raymond van Barneveld 2005) - but these were not during the same season which is considered to end with the World Championship.
★ There are 11 players who have won the Masters and World Professional during their careers - Bristow, Anderson, Walton and Burnett plus John Lowe, Phil Taylor, Dennis Priestley, Steve Beaton, Les Wallace, Andy Fordham and Raymond van Barneveld.
★ There have been two occasions where the defending champion has been ineligible to defend his title. In 1993, champion Dennis Priestley and his fellow WDC/PDC players were banned from the event. Michael van Gerwen will be ineligible for the competition in 2007 as he has also joined the PDC.
★ The Winmau World Masters is one of the only major darts championships which holds four separate finals; Men, Women, Boys and Girls Masters.
