THROWBACK VIDEO: Van Gerwen wins first edition of US Darts Masters five years ago

Michael van Gerwen won the first edition of the US Darts Masters in Las Vegas five years ago. Mighty Mike defeated Daryl Gurney in the final 8-6.

In addition to a check for twenty thousand pounds, Van Gerwen also earned a beautiful Ford Mustang with this title. However that joy was short lived.

According to the number one in the world, the import tax was too high. "You pay 40,000 or 50,000 dollars for such a Mustang, but in the Netherlands that car quickly costs 90,000 euros," Van Gerwen told the Telegraaf at the time.

The US Darts Masters is scheduled again next weekend, but in New York. In addition to Van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright and Fallon Sherrock also participate.
