Final – best of 11 ENG John Lowe AUS Rowan Barry (youth's)

The 1987 BDO World Darts Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the The 1987 Embassy World Darts Championship) was held at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey between 9 and 17 January 1987. John Lowe, the 1979 champion and four-time runner-up in the event, beat three-time defending champion Eric Bristow 6-4 in a repeat of the 1981 and 1985 finals. This marked something of a turning point in darts; Bristow had won the title for the three consecutive years prior to this. His defeat by Lowe was his first in the World Championship since 1983. Despite reaching the final of this event three more times (1989, 1990 and 1991) he would never again win the world title.
