Gerwyn Price most accurate on double 12, Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries on top five

Christopher Kempf, in charge of all kinds of statistics and data at the PDC, has brought out a striking new statistic.

For example, Gerwyn Price appears to be most accurate on double 12. Price threw to this double a whopping 222 times in 2023 and 2024 and hit just under 50%.

Double twelve represents less than 5% of all finishing doubles in darts, but its importance to the game is still quite significant. After all, more than 80% of the successful nine darters in history (for which the route is known) have resulted in a double 12 finish.

So while it is not essential to win more legs than your opponent, knowing your way to that side of the board is a crucial factor in acquiring immortality.

In second place in this statistic we find Luke Humphries. The reigning world champion, with 46.67% successful attempts at double 12, does just a little less well than Price. Third place, by the way, is for Michael van Gerwen with 45.87%

Just outside the top four we find Raymond van Barneveld with 44%
