In the course of this, there were also loose mind games that the Darts World Cup could be held in Saudi Arabia in the future. Record world champion Phil Taylor presented himself to the result.
“If I played now, I would personally say: Let’s go to Saudi Arabia. For one reason and only for one reason. The World Cup in London takes place in winter and it is ice cold. I would rather go to Saudi Arabia when the weather is nice, “the darts legend made you take notice in an interview with” Sport1 “.
