PDCTuesday, 09 May 2023 at 17:30
Last weekend, Michael van Gerwen won the Belgian Darts Open. 'Mighty Mike' did so by beating Luke Humphries 8-6 in the final.
During the final, the 34-year-old Dutchman achieved a nice milestone. Van Gerwen became the first player ever to have won more than 2,000 legs on the PDC European Tour.
This circuit has existed since 2012 and 104 tournaments have now been played since its inception. In this period, Van Gerwen managed to pick up a total of 2006 legs. Peter Wright is second in this statistic with 1400 legs won. Behind him follow Dave Chisnall (1116 legs), Michael Smith (1045 legs), and Mensur Suljovic (1015 legs).

- So,it's a rubbish league,waste of time. Just put 8000 people in a building every Thursday,get them all drunk,and wonder why it's a complete joke. And forget every other player apart from 8. It's a ridiculous,inane,and needless so called competition.rick6718-02-2026
- Sorry,I've never been a professional darts player,but obviously from your comment,you have. So, going to your reply, you're blaming the management,not the player? So in that respect,he should get a different manager? That's basically all your comment is saying. Don't let him do money makers,which Barney said is easy money, instead of tournaments? Shake hands instead of trophies? Well I guess the manager knows best,as he has a big cut!rick6716-02-2026
- Sorry Mr rick67, erm what punditry credentials do you have to comment on a pundit? There's a reason why many top professionals have management teams. They know how to manage schedules etc so the players can just play. And how is Edgar wrong? Last year MVG failed to qualify by missing too many tournaments and underperforming. He's repeating the error this year so Edgar is right In calling this out.BandB15-02-2026
- Just get of Mardle,I didn't pay to watch him,and I don't want him for free! Let's see,how many world champions,either code,did you win? None! Now mason does it more as a player who was a floor player than you were putting pineapple on your shirt. Mardle,just go,you over inflated ego may follow. Tell you what,get on the seniors tour,and show everyone how good you weren'trick6715-02-2026
- Sorry Mr Edgar,erm what have you actually won to comment? Mvg has had his issues,but you have won a grand total of what? I make that nothing. So how can your comment be justified? Let him do what he likes,you do what you like, and we'll see what you win nextrick6715-02-2026
- Seems to be having a moan for no reason and using โDo-Gooderโ as an insult makes no sense. It literally means someone who does good things!Wonker12-02-2026
- Mickey Vs mensur for the world champion? It's starting tomorrow,finishes in January!!rick6711-02-2026
- Oh well that's it then. Both these goofs will expect and demand premier league darts next year after this.richieburnettrocks10-02-2026
