Van Gerwen records remarkable European Tour per-dart earnings

Michael van Gerwen has had yet another outstanding year on the European Tour.

The world number one has been far and away the best player on the European circuit. Of the 13 European Tour events played, the Dutchman swept eight titles. Van Gerwen has claimed plenty of winnings - his earnings boiled down to a dart-by-dart basis are quite remarkable.
Statistician Christopher Kempf worked out that van Gerwen earned £34.52 for every individual dart thrown on the 2018 European Tour. That's more than £20 ahead of the next best player, Mensur Suljovic, who picked up £14.40 per dart. Unsurprisingly, it's the six event winners that sit at the top of the per-dart earnings.
Following Ian White, Jonny Clayton, Gerwyn Price and Max Hopp is Peter Wright, who picked up £10.58 per dart. Michael Smith and Simon Whitlock also bagged more than £10 for every dart thrown.
Next on the players' agenda is the European Championship in Dortmund.
