Taylor, the 16-time World Champion, took victory in the inaugural Perth Darts Masters last summer, defeating van Gerwen in the final at the HBF Stadium.

Taylor has also won the previous two Sydney Darts Masters titles and was victorious in June's Japan Darts Masters.

His challenge to retain the title in Perth, the first of three World Series of Darts events in Australia and New Zealand this month, will see him come up against DPNZ qualifier Caldwell.

Caldwell has twice previously represented New Zealand in the PDC World Cup of Darts, and will be making his World Series of Darts debut this month with appearances in both Perth and Sydney.

World number one van Gerwen will open up his challenge in Friday's first round against Platt, UK-born, Perth based thrower who also competed in Perth last summer and is a former World Championship and UK Open qualifier.

World Champion and Premier League champion Gary Anderson will play Kim Lewis, the Perth-based qualifier who won his spot in last weekend's final knockouts at the Rendezvous Hotel in Scarborough.

The other qualifier from last weekend, Perth's Adam Rowe, has drawn James Wade, with the world number six having celebrated his wedding to partner Sammi before the newlyweds jetted out to Australia.

Number three seed Peter Wright, the Japan Darts Masters runner-up recently, will take on Australian World Cup of Darts ace Paul Nicholson, the former Players Championship Finals winner, in their opening clash at the HBF Stadium.

Two-time World Champion Adrian Lewis is up against DPA Australian Grand Prix number one Loz Ryder, who followed up last year's appearances in Perth and Sydney by reaching the second round of the World Championship at Alexandra Palace.

Stephen Bunting, last year's Sydney Darts Masters runner-up, will face Perth's Kyle Anderson in a tasty first round contest, with the Australian ace having made huge strides in the past 18 months on the PDC circuit, including last month's World Matchplay qualification.

Another huge clash sees five-time World Champion Raymond van Barneveld drawn against top Australian Simon Whitlock, the former European Championship winner and last year's Singapore Darts Masters runner-up.

Tungsten darts already become the only choice of most professional players, because they found its value are far more than price. It’s all known that tungsten is a high-density metal, so it makes tungsten darts smaller than other materials (in the same weight).

Tungsten darts become the most popular darts among professional players, because tungsten darts are made of high-density metal, so they can be smaller than darts with other material. Besides, tungsten darts have delicate knurling, which make them worthy of being collected.

Candy Miller has hit the bull's eye after being crowned the world's oldest darts player at the age of 92.

The great-grandmother has been playing the game for 52 years and still turns out once a week for her local social club side.

The pensioner, who relies on a walking stick for movement, uses the incentive of sparing her arthritic knees to win her matches as quick as she can.

Despite her restricted mobility there is nothing wrong with Candy's aim or eyesight and she still regularly wipes the floor with players more than half her age.

'Dead eye' Mrs. Miller uses her trusted tungsten darts she had specially made more than 40 years ago and has hit two 180 maximum scores with them.

She still scores a healthy average of 48 every time she steps up to throw.

Her daughter Anne recently asked the Guinness Book of Records about the category for the world's oldest player.

After carrying out some research the organization confirmed that the nonagenarian is the oldest living darts player.

Mrs. Miller, a widow from Poole, Dorset, said: 'I am quite proud of the achievement and I will carry on playing for as long as my knees let me.

'Going up and down the oche is about as far as I can walk with them at the moment.

'But I still play once a week and still play a good game and win every now and again.

'I'm known in the league as I always aim for the number 16. If you miss you are likely to hit 17 or 19 rather than one or five if you go for 20.

'I have hit two 180s, although the last one was about 30 years ago. But it is very rare that I have a poor score, I still get a lot of trebles.'

Candy, a retired dressmaker, first took the game up after a female friend started a darts team up in 1960.

In her glory days she played every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for various teams before scaling her performances back after husband Len died 17 years ago.

She plays for the Alderney Manor Social Club in the Bournemouth and District Ladies Darts League. The team is currently 7th out of eight in the league table.

The team's captain is 84-year-old Rose Kettley, who is herself one of the oldest darts players in Britain.

Over the years Candy has won dozens and trophies and cups that she now proudly displays in her bungalow home.

Tungsten darts are very suitable for daily training, because tungsten darts are made of high-density metal of tungsten, they will be affected little by other factors during playing such as like wind, air, etc.
