The World Darts Federation recognise many darts tournaments each year including major titles such as the Lakeside World Professional Championship and the Winmau World Masters. Through 2007, the WDF had held four majors which constituted the Grand Slam, until the Topic International Darts League and Bavaria World Darts Trophy were cancelled in 2008 following the withdrawal of the Dutch broadcasters SBS6, when it was announced that PDC players, including Raymond van Barneveld, Jelle Klaasen, and Michael van Gerwen would not be competing.
In 2020, the WDF took over the running of the World Championship and World Masters from the BDO. To coincide with this, they updated their ranking criteria and the WDF World Rankings.

- The five World Darts Federation Major tournaments.
- The thirteen World Darts Federation Category One tournaments.
- The twenty six World Darts Federation Category Two tournaments.

Since 2020, the criteria has been modified and adapted. Now, the Men's and Women's WDF Main Ranking Tables are 104 week rolling tables and are used for seeding WDF ranked tournaments. Each player's best 15 points totals count towards their overall ranking. The Boys and Girls WDF Main Ranking tables are 52 week rolling tables and are used for seeding WDF ranked tournaments. Each player's best 10 points totals count towards their overall ranking.
