Taylor believes he can keep playing for another five years and that there is still room for improvement in his game.

At 47 years old and with a record 13 world championships under his belt Taylor has had a difficult season winning only the Premier league title.

On BBC one's Inside sport he said: "I'm definitely going to give it five years.

"I'm getting back to being really competitive again. I'm going to try to be better than I ever was."

Taylor won his fourth successive title after his win on Bank Holiday Monday.

Despite a poor start losing his first three matches Taylor emerged the victor claiming the £100,000 prize over rival James Wade.

"I'm absolutely over the moon, it's a massive tournament," Said Taylor

"You have to be at the top of your game for three or four months, so it means a great deal."

Taylor had an average of 112 during the tournament.
