The Premier League has never been a happy hunting ground for Gerwyn Price with ‘The Iceman’ never having reached the play-offs during his three prior appearances.
This year though will be different to before with the World Champion and World Number One having a new target on his back and one where he is expected to deliver.
For Price though it is a tag he is relishing and he has more trophies in mind to add to his collection.
"I hope I can carry this baton as well as Michael has. I want to go out and enjoy myself; I've done what I wanted to do but I want to pick up more trophies," said Price.
"It's a big effort and to be number one over two years, with the standard of darts as it is now, is crazy - unbelievable.
"I think it's even more difficult than winning the World Championship to become world number one, but knowing how big the prize money is when you win the World Championship then you've obviously got a chance to become world number one.
"It wasn't something that I thought would be possible when I first started, but those dreams that I started dreaming - possibly 12 months ago when I knew it was a reality I could reach number one and I could win the World Championship - have come true.
"I won the World Grand Prix and a few other events and I knew that Michael was defending £500,000 at the end of the year, so I knew that it was possible."
