Michael van Gerwen’s remarkable run continues with German Darts Grand Prix success: 14 straight years with a Pro Tour title
PDCWednesday, 23 April 2025 at 16:30
Michael van Gerwen clinched victory at the German Darts Grand Prix this past Monday, winning the fourth event of the 2025 PDC European Tour. In the final held in Munich, 'Mighty Mike' defeated fellow Dutchman Gian van Veen 8-5 to claim his first ranking title of the year - a rare late start for a player of his calibre.
Despite a slow beginning to the season, Van Gerwen extends one of the most remarkable streaks in darts. Since 2012, he has won at least one PDC Pro Tour title every year - tournaments that include both Players Championship and European Tour events.
That consistency becomes even more impressive when looking at finals appearances. Van Gerwen has reached at least one Pro Tour final every year since 2009, underscoring his long-standing dominance on the circuit.
Recent months have been challenging for the Dutchman, but this weekend's win puts an end to his winless spell in 2025. At the height of his powers between 2015 and 2018, Van Gerwen reached an astonishing 55 Pro Tour finals, winning 47 of them. He also collected numerous major titles during that golden era.
Looking ahead, Van Gerwen will not be competing at the Austrian Darts Open this weekend. Alongside several other top players, he’s opting for a well-earned break.
In his prime (2015-2018) MvG made 55 finals in 4 years and won 47 of them. And that’s without TV tournaments, only Pro Tour. https://t.co/A5lEdS8LVj

- Brilliant, Eric knew the risks and like most who die his age, bollox to being old and all that. Fair play to him and the rest of those who die young doing the same thing.Plaza15-06-2025
- So all of a sudden Littler is just a kid and it’s unfair as the Media’s darling golden boy gets the grief, never a problem though was it while it was Gerwyn Price. Been saying this for ages that something needs doing about crowd behaviour but the PDC don’t really care as long as the pissed up punters flock to Premier League night. The worry for the PDC is that as Littler has gone beyond the darts fan base and is the most high profile player in the world there is the risk that he is bigger than the PDC and then others with more clout (government for example) may start telling them to clean up their act. Bazza, Eddie and Porter will hate that.Mysstree15-06-2025
- As much as it's disappointing that England lost,Peter Wright's speculation didn't help himself and Gary either. It is, however, another pointless tournament. So,like the football club world cup,it means absolutely nothingrick6714-06-2025
- That poor trophy being next to that ! Oh my good god, what a hideous image !!richieburnettrocks10-06-2025
- Inspiration from walk on music Losing weight and trying to improve fitness from the dull as dishwater Dobey. The only inspiration Phil Taylor needed was to win and win and win. Players of today are pathetic, so vain and more obsessed with being popular or their walk on music than actually being dedicated to putting in the effort and winning something.richieburnettrocks08-06-2025
- Agree with much of this though as stated on the Rob cross thread and assuming he has a manager, he has not done a very good job. Wherever there is money there will always be those trying to get a cut, skim the cream from the top, more money in the game, more hangers on, fitness trainers, phycologists, accountants, social media analyst.Mysstree07-06-2025
- Thought Price managed the pace brilliantly — clinical early on, then just controlled the middle legs to stop Dekker building any rhythm. Was that game management though or just natural dominance?dartsmad06-06-2025
- Never come across as the brightest spark(y). Good manager, good accountant, not for Rob. £665k paid to a connected party …. hmmmm. How the hell has he escaped jail, sure i have seen people go inside for much less tax evasion.Mysstree05-06-2025
- This setup gives a free ride to guys at the bottom end of the ProTour qualification, where you get first round European Tour entry and Players Championship seeding. I reckon that if you beat every host nation qualifier and half the rest you could enter every major except the Grand Slam and earn £100k without ever beating a top-32 player.Scoobedybop05-06-2025
- Would agree that winning the League phase is the pinnacle. Imagine the tragedy if MVG had qualified without winning a night in fourth place then won the play offs. It just shows that the premier league is a money making jaunt for a few elites and the PDC and a night out for pissheads. Now it’s over its World Series time, another non ranked exhibition series thats no longer really needed. Bring back some serious tournaments like the Las Vegas Desert Classic..Mysstree02-06-2025
