List of WDF tournaments

The World Darts Federation recognise many darts tournaments each year including major titles such as the Lakeside World Professional Championship and the Winmau World Masters. Through 2007, the WDF had held four majors which constituted the Grand Slam, until the Topic International Darts League and Bavaria World Darts Trophy were cancelled in 2008 following the withdrawal of the Dutch broadcasters SBS6, when it was announced that PDC players, including Raymond van Barneveld, Jelle Klaasen, and Michael van Gerwen would not be competing.
In 2020, the WDF took over the running of the World Championship and World Masters from the BDO. To coincide with this, they updated their ranking criteria and the WDF World Rankings.

The five World Darts Federation Major tournaments.
The thirteen World Darts Federation Category One tournaments.
The twenty six World Darts Federation Category Two tournaments.
The thirty seven World Darts Federation Category Three tournaments.
The four Major international events WDF World Cup, WDF Americas Cup, WDF Europe Cup and WDF Asia-Pacific Cup.
