Defending champion Raymond van Barneveld retained his title with victory over Ronnie Baxter in another thrilling final, which like the previous year's decider against Richie Burnett, went to the final set and a tiebreak. Barneveld became the first player to retain the Embassy World Championship since Eric Bristow won it in three consecutive years in 1984, 1985 and 1986.

Van Barneveld defeated Sean Palfrey in the first round and survived match darts in his second match against the Scot Les Wallace, but managed to win. Steve Duke and Chris Mason were then beaten comfortably, but against Baxter an eleventh and deciding set had to decide a winner. Barney took a 2-0 lead in that set, but missed three match darts in the fourth leg of the set. He then broke Baxter’s throw in the next and managed to keep the momentum. Baxter missed tops for a 120 finish to keep the game alive and the Dutchman finished from 52 to claim the title.

The standout match of this championship, however, was the quarterfinal between Chris Mason and Martin Adams. Adams looked well set for victory when he led 4–1 in sets, but he missed nine darts for the match, and this opened the door for Mason to stage a huge comeback, forcing a final-set tiebreak. Finally, Adams missed a double one which would have forced a sudden-death leg, and Mason hit it to secure a remarkable win. This match also saw no fewer than 29 180s - 16 for Adams and 13 for Mason.
