Phil Taylor, 64, Lands New Role After Retirement from Darts
Legendary darts player Phil Taylor, 64, has already secured a new career opportunity just months after his retirement from competitive darts. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the sport’s history, Taylor, who won 16 World Championships, announced his retirement from professional darts in 2018.
Now, Taylor is ready to bring his wealth of experience to a fresh challenge. He has been appointed as a brand ambassador for a leading sports equipment company, where he will be involved in promoting new dart products and mentoring young talent. The role allows Taylor to stay close to the game he dominated for decades, while also exploring new avenues outside of the competitive circuit.
Despite stepping back from the competitive stage, Taylor has remained active in the darts world, participating in exhibition matches and charity events. His new position will see him work closely with manufacturers to help develop innovative darts and accessories, as well as engage with the darts community through coaching and training sessions.
“It’s an exciting new chapter for me,” Taylor said in a statement. “I’ve spent most of my life playing darts, and now I get to help shape the future of the game. I’m looking forward to passing on my knowledge and experience to the next generation of players.”
Fans of Taylor, who have followed his storied career with great admiration, will no doubt be thrilled to see him continuing his involvement in darts, albeit in a different capacity. Taylor’s move into the ambassadorial role marks an exciting transition for a man who has truly earned his place in the history of the sport.
