< 2006 | 2007 | 2008 >


The 2007 Holsten Premier League was a major darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). The prize money for the 2007 event increased by almost £100,000 compared to 2006. The overall fund was £265,000 with the eventual winner taking home £75,000. The inclusion of an eighth player meant that the league expanded from 10 to 14 weeks.

Phil Taylor continued his dominance of this tournament by taking the title for the third year in a row. In fact, he has remained unbeaten throughout this year's event – and extended his overall unbeaten run in the Premier League to 44 matches.

[edit] Qualifiers

The PDC awarded places in the league to the top six players in their world rankings after the Sky Bet World Grand Prix in October 2006.
