The PDC World Darts Championship started for Michael van Gerwen in a very bizarre way. The Dutchman got a glass of beer right in his face just before his walk on.
Alan Tabern, Van Gerwen's opponent, was already on the podium. The sounds of Pink Floyd's tune was already audible, but the crowd was waiting for Van Gerwen. That took so long that Sky Sports decided to show old footage of 'Mighty Mike' to fill the gap.
Footage from Sky Sports showed what happened. A 'fan' threw a glass of beer in the face of the two-time world champion. After his eyes were well flushed Van Gerwen could still set course towards the stage.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
