Nathan Aspinall captured the World Matchplay title last weekend. In the final, he defeated Jonny Clayton 18-6 for the second major title of his career.
Aspinall won the 2019 UK Open, but has since had to wait 1603 days for his second major title. In the history of the PDC, no one has had to wait longer to gain their second major victory.
Gary Anderson follows second in this list. Between his first major title (Premier League 2011) and second (Players Championship Finals 2014) were 1291.
The top three is completed by John Part. The Canadian became world champion on Jan. 5, 2003, and exactly 1274 days later he won the Las Vegas Desert Classic.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
