PHIL TAYLOR was named as the PDC Player of the Year on Monday night, as Adrian Lewis, Gary Anderson, Justin Pipe and Dave Chisnall also picked up trophies at the PDC Annual Awards Dinner.

The stars of the sport gathered at The Dorchester on London's Park Lane for the annual ceremony to celebrate the achivements of the last year.

World number 12 Taylor saw his achievement in winning five major titles during 2011 - at the World Matchplay, European Championship, World Grand Prix, Championship League Darts and Grand Slam of Darts - recognised with the showpiece PDC Player of the Year Award.

Taylor was also voted as the PDC Fans' Player of the Year following an internet poll on the PDC's official website, www.pdc.tv, as he edged out Gary Anderson and Justin Pipe as the crowd favourite.

Pipe's rise into the world's top 32, which included three PDC ProTour titles, saw him recognised by his peers with the PDPA Players' Player of the Year award.

Anderson, meanwhile, won the Best PDC ProTour Player Award, having won seven Players Championships and UK Open Qualifiers during 2011 to claim £64,200 prize money in non-televised tournaments.

Holland's 22-year-old Michael van Gerwen was named as the PDC Young Player of the Year, having won four PDC Unicorn Youth Tour events during 2011 and reached the last 16 of the World Championship recently.

Dave Chisnall's outstanding debut season in the PDC was rewarded with the Best Newcomer Award, recognising his rise to 32nd in the PDC Order of Merit as he won a Players Championship and reached two major quarter-finals.

World Champion Adrian Lewis saw his thrilling comeback from 5-1 to defeat James Wade 6-5 in the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship semi-finals named as the PDC Televised Performance of the Year.

The Nine-Dart Club, which sees players who hit a perfect leg in PDC tournaments, welcomed a host of new members who achieved the feat in 2011, including John Part, Adrian Lewis, Brendan Dolan, Simon Whitlock and Phil Taylor from televised events.

A further 11 players, Dave Chisnall, John Henderson, Michael Smith, Wayne Atwood, Dennis Priestley, Simon Whitlock, Justin Pipe, Phil Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld, Wes Newton and Mark Webster, received a Silver Pin Badge to reward their achievements in non-televised events.
