The event started on 18 December 2014 and concluded on 4 January 2015. It was held at the Alexandra Palace, London, England. The draw was held on 2 December 2014. Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion, having won his first World Championship title in 2014, but he lost 6–3 to Gary Anderson in the semi-finals. Adrian Lewis threw the event's only nine-dart finish in his third round match with Raymond van Barneveld. John Michael and Boris Koltsov became the first players from Greece and Russia respectively to play in the first round of a PDC World Championship. Cristo Reyes became the first Spanish player to reach the last 16 in the history of the event. Scotsman Gary Anderson won the title by beating Phil Taylor 7–6 in the final. ==Format and qualifiers== The tournament featured 72 players. The top 32 players on the PDC Order of Merit on 2 December 2014 (after the Players Championship Finals) were seeded for the tournament. They were joined by the 16 highest non-qualified players from the Pro Tour Order of Merit, based on the events played on the 2014 PDC Pro Tour. These 48 players were joined by two PDPA qualifiers (as determined at a PDPA Qualifying event held in Coventry on 1 December 2014), the highest ranked non-qualified player on the PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit, and 21 international players: the four highest names on the European Order of Merit not already qualified, and 17 further international qualifiers determined by the PDC and PDPA. Some of the international players, such as the four from the European Order of Merit, and the top American and Australian players were entered straight into the first round, while others, having won qualifying events in their countries, were entered into the preliminary round. The field was set on 1 December 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=William Hill World Champs Field )〕 John Michael became the first Greek player to play in the PDC World Championship.

Kim Viljanen, who finished third, therefore replaced Komula. :2 Ryan de Vreede qualified after Richie Burnett was removed from the field due to personal reasons. As a result, Stuart Kellett moved into the top 32 seeds and Rowby-John Rodriguez qualified through the Pro Tour instead of the European Tour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2015 PDC World Darts Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
