Van Gerwen admitted that for him his main aim is to provide for his family and that despite already having a great career, there is more in the tank. He also said that despite some ups and downs this year, he can’t complain due to his tournament wins. ''I have some little ups and downs so far in the Premier League, when you look to the results. I have won the Masters, World Championship, a Euro Tour and two Pro Tours, so I can't really complain.'' ''I'm number one in the world for more then five years now. It's a lovely position to be in, but I work really hard for it. It's tough to keep doing what I have done the last few years and it costs a lot of energy. I have one big target and that's making sure my family is alright.'' ''They always say 'they are going to catch me or winning so many tournaments this season'. But don't say it, do it and say afterwards 'I did it'. I'm totally the opposite of that. I say things when I have done it. That's the difference. You have to believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, that counts for any other player, then it's going to be tough. I'm having a phenomenal career so far, but I know there is more in the tank.''

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026

- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
