The '''2022 PDC World Darts Championship''' (officially referred to as the '''2021/22 [[William Hill (bookmaker)|William Hill]] World Darts Championship'''<ref name=dates/>) was the 29th [[PDC World Darts Championship|World Championship]] organised by the [[Professional Darts Corporation]] since it [[split in darts|separated]] from the now-defunct [[British Darts Organisation]]. It took place at the [[Alexandra Palace]] in [[London]] from 15 December 2021 to 3 January 2022.

[[Gerwyn Price]] was the defending champion, after he defeated [[Gary Anderson (darts player)|Gary Anderson]] 7–3 to claim his first World Championship in [[2021 PDC World Darts Championship|2021]]. However, he lost 5–4 to [[Michael Smith (darts player)|Michael Smith]] in the quarter-finals.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/darts/55524484|title=PDC World Championship 2021: Gerwyn Price beats Gary Anderson to win title|date=3 January 2021|work=BBC Sport |access-date=21 July 2021}}</ref> For the first time since [[2006 PDC World Darts Championship|2006]], no players from outside the [[United Kingdom]] reached the quarter-final stage.

Three [[nine-dart finish]]es were made in the tournament, the most in a single PDC World Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pdc.tv/players/pdc-nine-dart-club|title=PDC's Nine-Dart Club|date=1 January 2022|work=Professional Darts Corporation}}</ref><ref name="Pri9"/> [[William Borland (darts player)|William Borland]] became the first ever player in a televised tournament to hit a nine-dart finish in a deciding leg, against [[Bradley Brooks]] in the first round.

Three players were forced to withdraw in the third round due to testing positive for [[COVID-19]]; on 27 December, [[Vincent van der Voort]] was forced to withdraw from the tournament ahead of his match against [[James Wade]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/2021/12/27/van-der-voort-withdraws-william-hill-world-darts-championship|title=Van der Voort withdraws from William Hill World Darts Championship|date=27 December 2021|website=PDC}}</ref> three-time World Champion [[Michael van Gerwen]] withdrew the following day from his match against [[Chris Dobey]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/2021/12/28/van-gerwen-withdraws-william-hill-world-darts-championship|title=Van Gerwen withdraws from William Hill World Darts Championship|date=28 December 2021|website=PDC}}</ref> and [[Dave Chisnall]] withdrew on 29 December before his match against [[Luke Humphries]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/2021/12/29/chisnall-withdraws-william-hill-world-darts-championship|title=Chisnall withdraws from William Hill World Darts Championship|date=29 December 2021|website=PDC}}</ref>

[[Peter Wright (darts player)|Peter Wright]] won the World Championship for the second time in his career, defeating Michael Smith 7–5 in the final.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/2022/01/03/wright-defeats-smith-become-two-time-world-champion|title=Wright defeats Smith to become two-time World Champion|date=3 January 2022|website=PDC}}</ref>

The event would be the final event of William Hill's sponsorship deal with the PDC, as the organisation had announced on 18 July 2021 that it had reached a multi-year, multi-tournament sponsorship deal with British car sales company [[Cazoo]] for all of its events from 2022 and onwards, including the World Championship.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PDC announce new multi-year, multi-tournament deal with title sponsors Cazoo |url=https://www.skysports.com/darts/news/12288/12335782/pdc-announce-new-multi-year-multi-tournament-deal-with-title-sponsors-cazoo |access-date=2022-07-10 |website=Sky Sports |language=en}}</ref>

==Format==
All matches were played as single in, double out; requiring the players to score 501 points to win a [[Leg (darts)|leg]], finishing on either a double or the [[bullseye (target)|bullseye]]. Matches were played to [[Set (darts)|set]] format, with each set being the best of five legs (first to three). After a one-year break, the tie-break rule came back into force.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2021/22 William Hill World Darts Championship schedule of play|url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/2021/12/01/202122-william-hill-world-darts-championship-schedule-play|access-date=2021-12-01|website=PDC|date=December 2021 |language=en}}</ref> For all rounds except the first, the final set had to be won by two clear legs, unless the set score went to 5–5, in which case a sudden-death leg was played. This year, there was no throw for the bull in any sudden-death legs.

Prior to the third round, three players had to withdraw after testing positive for [[COVID-19]], those being [[Vincent van der Voort]], [[Michael van Gerwen]] and [[Dave Chisnall]], with their scheduled third round opponents receiving [[bye (sports)|bye]]s.

=== Final stages ===
The quarter-finals were held on [[New Year's Day]]. Wade comfortably beat Mervyn King 5–0 to reach his fourth World Championship semi-final. The match between Anderson and Humphries saw the first four sets being shared between the two players, before Anderson took control and won the last three sets to triumph 5–2, reaching his seventh semi-final (second consecutively), and condemning Humphries to a third quarter-final exit in four years. Rydz held leads of 2–0, 3–1 and 4–3 over Wright, before Wright levelled and took the final set in extra legs to eliminate his unseeded opponent and reach his fourth semi-final. Finally, the match between Smith and Price saw the first eight sets go with throw; with Price both hitting the tournament's third nine-dart finish and missing two darts to break the eighth set and win the match; before Smith broke throw in the final set to reach his second semi-final.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Phillips |first1=Josh |title=William Hill World Darts Championship Quarter-finals |date=January 2022 |url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/2022/01/01/william-hill-world-darts-championship-quarter-finals |publisher=[[Professional Darts Corporation|PDC]] |access-date=1 January 2022}}</ref>

The semi-finals were held on 2 January. In the first game Smith led from the start, winning the first set and then breaking Wade's throw to take the second set. Wade broke back in the third set before Smith restored the two-set advantage by breaking again in the fourth. Smith took sets five and six to go one away, and despite Wade taking the next two sets, he was not able to prevent Smith from triumphing, condemning Wade to a fourth semi-final defeat from four attempts and enabling Smith to reach his second World Championship final. In the second semi-final, Wright took the first three sets – two of them against throw – before Anderson broke back in the fourth set and then held in the fifth to close the gap to one. Wright stopped the comeback by holding throw in the sixth set, and from then on a high-quality match went with throw, with Wright breaking Anderson's record - set in the [[2017 PDC World Darts Championship|2017 final]] - for most 180s in a World Championship match, with 24, and taking the win 6–4 to reach his third World Championship final.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Murphy |first1=Chris |title=Record-breaking Wright and super Smith seal final spots |date=2 January 2022 |url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/2022/01/02/record-breaking-wright-and-super-smith-seal-final-spots |publisher=[[Professional Darts Corporation|PDC]] |access-date=3 January 2022}}</ref>

In the final, held on 3 January, Peter Wright began the game in control of throw and took the first set 3–1, before breaking with a 148 checkout in the second set on his way to another 3–1 win.

Wright held the fifth set 3–2, and Smith took the sixth 3–1. The seventh set saw Smith take the lead in sets for the first time, and the first 3–0 win of a set, with Smith breaking the Wright throw twice. Wright however broke back in the eighth set 3–1. Smith took advantage of missed darts from Wright to win the ninth set 3–2 and regain the lead; but after going 2 legs up in the tenth set, he allowed Wright to come back and take the set to level again.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2022/jan/03/darts-pdc-world-championship-final-michael-smith-peter-wright-live-updates|title= Peter Wright beats Michael Smith to PDC World Darts title – as it happened|date=3 January 2022|work=Guardian|accessdate=5 January 2022}}</ref> Wright took the lead after winning the eleventh set 3–0 to move one away from the title; and took the next two legs in the twelfth set, and after Smith pulled one back, Wright sealed the title with a thirteen-dart hold, hitting double 16 to win his second World Championship.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Beardmore |first1=Michael |title=LIVE PDC World Darts Championship final - Wright beats Smith to win title in thriller |date=3 January 2022 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/darts/59858980 |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |access-date=3 January 2022}}</ref>
