Michael Smith has ended his brilliant year by reaching the final of the PDC World Darts Championship and now he has the title within his grasp.
Smith though will face potentially one of the toughest tests if he is to win the title though with him up against World Number One, Michael van Gerwen.
His stats so far though suggest that he has been playing well enough to do it. He has a tournament average of 101; with 51 180’s including breaking the record for the amount in one semi-final with 17. His highest checkout has been 136 and his percentage was 44.83%.
In terms of his route to the final, he has played some real in-form players. He started off by defeating Ron Meulenkamp (3-1) then John Henderson (4-2) as well as Ryan Searle (4-1).
Then he dumped up two success stories of the tournament in Luke Humphries (5-1) and Nathan Aspinall (6-3).
The question is though: Can ‘Bully Boy’ realise his potential and become World Champion for the first time?

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
