The 2022 Lakeside WDF World Championship was the first World Championship organised by the World Darts Federation (WDF). The tournament was held at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey, England, which hosted the now-defunct BDO World Darts Championship from 1986 to 2019. The titles were won by Neil Duff in the men's competition, and Beau Greaves in the women's.
The WDF made the decision to postpone the tournament by three months, due to growing concerns and potential government restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
Neil Duff and Thibault Tricole became the first players from Northern Ireland and France respectively to reach the final of a World Darts Championship.
In his last 16 victory over Luke Littler, Richard Veenstra recorded the highest three dart average in the venue's history with 104.91.
In her second-round match, Veronika Ihász hit the biggest outshot for a female competitor in world championship history with a 164.
18-year-old Beau Greaves became the youngest ever winner of a senior world championship, defeating Kirsty Hutchinson 4–0 in the final. She also produced a record average of 92.02, which stands as the best in a final of the Women's World Championship, and the third-best in the history of the Women's World Championship.[2]
