The 2002 Skol World Darts Championship was the ninth World Championship organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) since it separated from the British Darts Organisation (BDO). It was held between 28 December 2001 and 5 January 2002 at the Circus Tavern, Purfleet, Essex.
Phil Taylor continued his domination of the tournament by winning it for the eighth consecutive year, losing only two sets in the process and achieving a second consecutive 7-0 whitewash in the final against Peter Manley. This was his tenth World title in all.
Following the tournament, Skol brought to an end their five-year tenure as title sponsors.
