📊 Michael van Gerwen's defeat to Luke Littler is the 6th time in 19 Premier League years that a player has lost a match with an average over 110. 😳
Michael van Gerwen sixth player in history of Premier League Darts to lose by 110+ average

An average of 110.94 proved insufficient for Michael van Gerwen to win over Luke Littler on Thursday night. The 17-year-old teenage sensation recorded a moyenne of 114 himself and won 6-2.
It is the sixth time in Premier League Darts history that a player has lost despite an average of 110+, Darts Oracle writes. The remarkable thing is that Van Gerwen has been involved in five cases in some way.
It was the second time for Van Gerwen himself to go down with a 110+ average in Premier League Darts. That also happened to him in 2023 against Gerwyn Price.
