Lowest ranked player winning TV tournament
Cadbury nearly won one this year, lost in the decider with the throw. He has no tour card yet.
Who's the lowest ranked winner of a TV tournament?
(pdc number 84 Don't talk about any joke events in the BDO)

who knows how the BDO did things way back then, just always thought it was wave of Ollies hand and it was so.Randall wrote:Wasn't Taylor unranked in 1990?
Keith Deller came thru a qualifier to get into the BDO world champs but don't know his ranking at the time.
Thought Taylor got there via BDO ranking in 1990, but don't know.
PT13 knows I am sure as I am certain there will be a long post coming laying out the details of Filths road to the 1990 World Champs.

Re: Lowest ranked player winning TV tournament

Re: Lowest ranked player winning TV tournament
An unseeded player back then could have been ranked as high as 9th though.

Re: Lowest ranked player winning TV tournament
Hopefully PT13 will correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to recall reading Phil Taylor was ranked 18th directly prior to the 1990 world championships.
