1989 BDO World Darts Championship

1989 BDO World Darts Championship

The 1989 Embassy World Darts Championship was the 12th World Professional Championships, and was staged at the Lakeside Country Club, Frimley Green, Surrey, England for the fourth successive year. The tournament was organised by the governing body, the British Darts Organisation (BDO).

Following the 1988 Winmau World Masters ITV pulled all their coverage of darts and the BBC decided to withdraw their coverage of the 1988 British Professional Championship, meaning that this World Championship was the only televised darts tournament in 1989. The World Championship would remain the only annual televised event for the next four years.

In an attempt to improve the image of the game (which contributed to the loss of television coverage and sponsors), the BDO decided that players would no longer be allowed to drink alcohol during matches - allowing just water on the stage.

The tournament itself saw defending champion Bob Anderson beaten in the semi-finals by Jocky Wilson who would go on to meet his rival Eric Bristow in the final. Wilson raced into a five set to nil lead, before being pegged back by Bristow. Bristow took the next four sets to make it a tense finish - and after missing several double attempts, Wilson took the title 6-4.
