High-voltage tweeter meets mega-party! When record world champion Phil Taylor triumphs with the darts with a secure hand, firm stand and mental strength on the disc, the audience rages.
Now the Briton and seven other world class pros will be celebrating their debut on ProSieben - at the first "Celebrity Darts World Cup 2017" - and support eight prominent hobby darts players: world footballer Lothar Matthäus, cult manager and enjoyment man Reiner Calmund, presenter Matthias Opdenhövel And wrestling star Tim Wiese and four other celebrities will compete on ProSieben on 7 January 2017 live. Which celebrity pro team wins the first "Celebrity Darts World Cup 2017"?
Only a few days after the official World Cup (PDC World Darts Championship, final on 2 January 2017 in London), the international darts elite will make a rally at ProSieben. In addition to the 16-time darts world champion Phil "The Power" Taylor (ENG) The world's first-ever gunners, Michael "Mighty Mike" van Gerwen (NED), reigning world champion Gary Anderson alias "The Flying Scotsman" (SCO) and the German number 1, Max Hopp (GER).
It is played in classic "501" mode: each team starts with 501 points and has to get to zero as quickly as possible. Which two-team team proves a calm hand and hits the red? ProSieben is showing "The Celebrity Darts World Cup 2017" live from the already sold out Maritim Hotel Düsseldorf. Joko Winterscheidt moderated. At the commentary micro, Darts expert Elmar Paulke sits.
Looks like this is going to be on the German channel ProSieben.
One assumes they will have the requisite permission from the PDC to have PDC players in a non-PDC event on television?
