Darts has grown from pub game to packed-arena spectacle, complete with walk-on music and raucous crowds. Beneath the theatre lies a sport of extraordinary precision under pressure. Its champions throw for life-changing money with thousands singing behind them. That backdrop is what makes a matchup like this one resonate beyond the box scores.
