Not Luke Littler or Gerwyn Price! Andrew Gilding tops explosive 2026 Pro Tour highest average list

The opening months of the 2026 Pro Tour season have already produced a remarkable run of high scoring, with Andrew Gilding currently setting the pace for the highest recorded average of the year.

According to figures shared by TheRedBit, Gilding’s 118.66 average stands as the benchmark so far, ahead of Gerwyn Price and Kevin Doets, who have both registered 117.12 averages during the campaign. The figures underline the level being produced across the Pro Tour in 2026, with several players already posting averages well above the 110 mark.

Gilding’s 118.66 came in a 6-0 demolition of Joe Cullen at Players Championship 13, a performance that stood as the highest average of the day and remains the benchmark figure for the 2026 Pro Tour season so far.

Price also features prominently with his 117.12, reinforcing the Welshman’s scoring power during the early part of the season.

Doets, however, is one of the most notable names in the top 10. The Dutchman appears three times on the list, with averages of 117.12, 113.05 and 112.31.

That reflects the level behind his recent rise. Doets claimed his first PDC ranking title at Players Championship 13 and then reached the final of the Austrian Darts Open, where he was beaten by Josh Rock. His repeated presence among the biggest Pro Tour averages of the year adds further weight to a season that has already become a major breakthrough.

Luke Littler is also inside the top five with a 113.84 average, while Wessel Nijman features twice with efforts of 113.37 and 112.87. That gives the Netherlands five entries in the top 10 when Doets and Nijman are combined.

Dave Chisnall is also included with a 111.72 average, while Chris Dobey and Kim Huybrechts both sit on 111.33.

The spread of names shows the range of players capable of producing elite-level scoring on the floor this season, from established major winners and Premier League names to players currently pushing their way into deeper runs on the Pro Tour and European Tour.

With Gilding setting the pace at 118.66 and multiple players already beyond the 112 mark, the early numbers suggest the standard on the 2026 Pro Tour is showing little sign of slowing down.
