Taylor To Sponsor Aspiring Darts Stars
Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor is set to fund 16 aspiring darts players of all ages and abilities to compete for places on the professional circuit, with his Team Taylor scheme putting players through the Professional Darts Players Association Qualifying School.
They will be selected from competitions and regional finals to be held in Rileys clubs across the UK.
The fifteen-time world champion told BBC Sport: ‘It could be anybody. There will be 16 qualifiers that go through to Q School. Let’s hope that in that number is the next up and coming player.’
The 51-year-old is encouraging people of all ages to take part and added that the next star of the sport might not have even played the sport yet.
Taylor added: ‘We are looking for someone who is like a sponge, so to speak, in that they soak up information and advice and we can help develop them. It doesn’t matter what age they are or what their ability is.’
‘I’ll know as soon as I see them. It is like a young kid kicking a football around in the street, you can see if they have the ability. The aim is to help them develop the talent they have.’
