Ten highest match averages in the history of the Premier League Darts
PDCWednesday, 05 February 2020 at 17:30
The Premier League restarts tomorrow night and ahead of the roadshow kicking off again, we take a look at the top ten highest averages in tournament history.
Michael van Gerwen's effort back in 2016 in defeating Michael Smith with a 123.40 average is the record average overall on TV.
Only Peter Wright has bettered this in terms of broadcast but as Van Gerwen has pointed out previously, this is in the ProTour not in a TV game so this mark still stands going into this year's edition.
Speaking of Wright, he is second getting close in spells to Van Gerwen's record back in 2017 when he defeated Adrian Lewis 7-2 with a phenomenal 119.50 average.
Van Gerwen as expected accounts for most of the averages with efforts of 117.95 in 2016, 116.90 in 2015 and 116.67 in 2016 all on the top ten.
It is Phil Taylor though who has the most. 'The Power' has one more than Van Gerwen with his highest being fourth which was the previous record against Simon Whitlock 8-4 with a 117.35 average.
He also has marks of 116.10 in 2012, 116.01 in 2009, 115.80 in 2015 and 115.25 during 2016 in a variety of close wins and wins with ease. Interestingly there has not been a high mark registered since the aforementioned Wright one in 2017, can anyone force their way onto the list this time around?

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
