2002 Las Vegas Desert Classic
Template:Infobox individual darts tournament
The 2002 Las Vegas Desert Classic was the inaugural staging of a darts tournament by the Professional Darts Corporation. It featured the top players from the PDC along with an opportunity for players from North America to qualify.[1] Over 200 players entered the event, but the last 16 featured mostly British-based players – the only exceptions being Roland Scholten and former World Champion John Part who participate regularly in UK tournaments.
This event featured an unusual format - sets were played over the best of seven legs, rather than the more standard best of five or three legs.
The total prize fund was US$58,000[2] and Phil Taylor won the title beating Ronnie Baxter in the final.
