Michael van Gerwen celebrated his 100th PDC title last weekend. The world-number-one won two tournaments at the UK Open Qualifiers in Wigan, which helped him to reach the hundred milestone.
Van Gerwen has won forty titles on the Pro Tour now. In addition, 'Mighty Mike' managed to book twenty European Tour victories over the last few years. He claimed victory at major tournaments forty times as well. In the history of the PDC, only Phil Tayor won over hundred titles worldwide.
''I am very proud of this record and I hope I can reach the next 100 just as fast,'' said Van Gerwen on his own website.
''It is always nice to have records like this associated with my name and it was a special feeling to know that I had reached it.
''It doesn’t change anything though, I am still hungry for every title as if it would be my first so everyone better watch out.''
The 28-year-old Dutchman will get the chance this weekend to add another three titles to his name. The last three UK Open Qualifiers will be played from Friday till Sunday. The two-time World Champion is currently leading the UK Open Qualifiers ranking after the first three events.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
