As of 2023, who is the oldest player to become world darts champion?

Wayne Warren (born 12 June 1962) is a Welsh professional darts player who plays in events of the World Darts Federation (WDF). He was the last ever British Darts Organisation (BDO) World Darts Champion. He is the oldest player to become world darts champion. Fellow players and commentators have commented on Warren's smooth and relaxing throwing style.

At the 2020 World Championship, Warren improved on his best performance by reaching the final, and beat fellow Welshman Jim Williams 7–4 to win the BDO world title. At 57, Warren was the oldest winner of either version of the world championship. His prize winning fee of £23,000 was the lowest awarded to a world champion since 1989, as a result of the BDO's financial difficulties which led to it going into liquidation later in the year.
