Las Vegas SUN: The finer points of darts

Las Vegas SUN: The finer points of darts: "The finer points of darts
Taylor comes a long way from $150 a week to the power to buy a Bentley

By Rob Miech
Las Vegas Sun

When Phil Taylor first entered dart tournaments, upgrading the cutlery or bedsheets served as incentive. Advance another round, and maybe he could afford to take the family on a little holiday.

After faring well in a 1988 open, he bought a new $750 shower.

'You'd turn it on and, 'Pfffffffffft!' ' said the 45-year-old Taylor, with darting hand movements. 'It was like heaven.'

Now, a spacious new home or new Audi A8 don't compare to the excitement level of when, not so long ago, he would surprise his wife, Yvonne, with a new set of dish towels."
