"I believe if they all play well, he wins": Wayne Mardle sees Van Gerwen as clear favourite for 2023 Premier League Darts

Next Thursday, the Premier League kicks off in Belfast. Former participant Wayne Mardle, currently working as a commentator for Sky Sports, sees one clear top favourite.
Van Gerwen went out quickly at the Masters last weekend, but Mardle has no doubts about the six-time Premier League winner.
"Michael van Gerwen is the favourite in every event he goes in. I believe if they all play well, he wins and he proved that in 2022 by winning what he won," he said to Sky Sports.
"It's a battle of the best going up against the best and I find it hard to believe he won't make the Play-Offs. Normally, he makes the Play-Offs and I think he'll do so again, but you cannot discount anyone because they are all world-class players."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
