Didn't they just split the money if there was more than one in a competition?

They would have done, but when £147k was offered it never happened. The money never came direct from the organisers pocket, they used to insure against it.

I remember when they'd have a prize in darts for the highest finish of the tournament. Unthinkable now that there wouldn't be multiple 170s. It's now almost more likely than not that you'll see a 9 darter in a tournament

Exactly. There is a 9 darter most weeks now.
The standard is so high and the equipment so much better.

He doesn't really look like an athlete it must be said, but appearances can be deceptive.

He is no lightweight. His exuberant lifestyle hints that he is more than a bit lost so maybe the Iron Man was a body image 'idea'.

Trump has to be firm favourite for the Title. There's a long way to go yet, but his form up to now has been fantastic.

Those last 4 frames he was completely unplayable.
Murphy is playing well and doesn’t get a look in.

I missed what the 100 grand was for? Was it the xth century of the tournament or something?

100 in a season. He's done it before (as has Robertson) but the prize wasn't offered then.
