2024 WDF World Darts Championship


The 2024 WDF World Darts Championship was the third edition of the WDF World Darts Championship organised by the World Darts Federation. The tournament was held at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey, England.
Andy Baetens was the defending men's champion, but was not able to defend his title after winning a PDC Tour Card in January 2024. Beau Greaves secured her third women's title by beating Sophie McKinlay, having beaten Aileen de Graaf in the 2023 [WDF World Darts Championship|2023] final.
Shane McGuirk defeated Paul Lim 6–3 in the men's final to become the first World Darts Champion from the Republic of Ireland. 70-year-old Lim also became the oldest darts player to reach a World Championship final.

Prize money

There was a slight decrease in prize money from the previous edition, although the winners of both senior tournaments received the same as the previous year.
