Price's sensational 115.97 average registers as ninth best in Premier League Darts history
PDCFriday, 14 April 2023 at 16:30
Gerwyn Price continued his sensational run of form in recent weeks at last night's Premier League Darts in Brighton. His 115.97 average from his first-round victory over Chris Dobey ranks in the top 10 all-time averages seen in the event.
The Iceman was at the peak of his powers in his matchup with Dobey on Thursday night. Making it look easy, Price seemed like he just couldn't miss. Despite Dobey firing in a very impressive 103.27 in his own right, the Welshman strolled to a 6-2 victory.
Just the fourth man to average over 115 in the Premier League, Price joins the illustrious company of Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright. It is van Gerwen in fact who holds the record for the highest average ever seen in the Premier League with the utterly ridiculous 123.40 that he threw back in 2016 when demolishing Michael Smith 7-1.

- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
