The full results from the 2023 World Senior Darts Masters, which took place from June 24-25 at the Westlands in Yeovil.

The second staging of the World Seniors Masters featured legends such as Phil Taylor, Robert Thornton, Martin Adams, Kevin Painter, John Part and defending champion David Cameron but it was tournament favourite Leonard Gates who walked off with the title.

It was the American's second seniors title of the season having previously clinched the Champion of Champions crown against Richie Howson, who was again the runner-up on this occasion.

Gates trounced him 6-2 in sets while the 52-year-old's other victories came against Mark Dudbridge (4-2), Chris Mason (4-3) and two-time World Seniors champion Robert Thornton (5-2).

Meanwhile, Taylor is yet to win a title since the World Seniors Tour began and this year he was knocked out by Dennis Harbour.
