The 1975 Phonogram World Masters was the major tournament on the BDO/WDF calendar for 1975. It took place from 1 October at the West Centre Hotel, Fulham.

The tournament featured the best 60 players from around the world. 24 winners of major tournaments from the last year and an English qualifying round consisting of 36 players (2 from each county). The 36 County players played down to a last 8 before joining the 24 invitees to make the first round.

The final was an all Welsh affair between Alan Evans and David "Rocky" Jones with Evans winning his only World Masters title.

This tournament is notable for being the first major tournament entered by a then 18 year old Eric Bristow, who went on to dominate the game in the 1980s. Bristow failed to make the last 32 after losing in the England qualifiers earlier in the day.
