“I think I’m due a big title with the way I’m playing" - In-form Chisnall hoping to end long wait for major title at World Grand Prix
PDC
Dave Chisnall starts the World Grand Prix in top form. The 43-year-old Englishman won the Hungarian Darts Trophy just last weekend and was also successful at a Players Championship last week.
Chisnall is still waiting for a first major victory after losing six major finals in the past. “I think I’m due a big title with the way I’m playing,” said 'Chizzy'. "It is hard enough to win a ProTour, never mind a TV tournament, but I believe it is going to come one day, and hopefully it comes this week."

In 2013 and 2019, Chisnall was a losing finalist at the World Grand Prix. “People used to say I couldn’t hit doubles, but when I go into this tournament I seem to hit my starting double pretty well."
Chisnall takes on Luke Woodhouse in his opening match. "Luke is a good player. I helped him qualify last week by beating Scott Williams [in Budapest], but I’m just going to relax and play the board, not the player.”

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
