2018 has seen in spells Michael van Gerwen's dominance dispelled with six different PDC major champions crowned this year as the final event before the World Championship has been completed.
Those champions are:
Rob Cross (2018 World Championship)
Gary Anderson (UK Open, World Matchplay, Champions League of Darts)
Michael van Gerwen (The Masters, Premier League, World Grand Prix)
James Wade (European Championship, World Series of Darts Finals)
Gerwyn Price (Grand Slam of Darts)
Daryl Gurney (Players Championship Finals)
This is compared to other years where in 2017 it was four and in 2016 it was two further showing the dominance that MVG has had over the past few years.
By comparison it has been Gary Anderson who has led this year and it also included a first title for Gerwyn Price.
It remains to be seen whether this trend of different champions will continue next year but we have seen a high number of different title holders for the first time in a while.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
