The 2012 Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship was the 19th World Championship organised by the Professional Darts Corporation since it separated from the British Darts Organisation. The event took place at the Alexandra Palace between 15 December 2011 and 2 January 2012.[1]
Adrian Lewis was the defending champion having won the 2011 tournament.[2] Phil Taylor became the last remaining player to have played in every PDC World Championship, after Dennis Priestley failed to qualify.[3] For the first time players from Malaysia, Portugal and Serbia qualified.[4]
Lewis was able to defend his title against Andy Hamilton in the final with a 7–3 win.[5]
Sid Waddell, having commentated on the BDO World Championship from 1978 to 1994 for the BBC and on the PDC World Championship from 1995 to 2011 for Sky Sports, was forced to miss the 2012 PDC World Championship, having been diagnosed with bowel cancer in September 2011. He died in August 2012.
