Van Gerwen admits Wright becoming World Number One is a possibility amid Taylor comments: “The ranking system is not 100% fair, because the World Championship weighs too much”

Phil Taylor recently had a bold prediction. In an interview, he said that Peter Wright will become the new number one in the PDC Order of Merit.

“That is an option,” Michael van Gerwen reflected on this in an interview with RTL7 Darts. “If I don't perform well until the World Championship and he also wins the World Championship, then it is possible. That's because the ranking system is not 100% fair, because the World Championship weighs too much compared to the other tournaments. ”

However, Mighty Mike doesn’t believe Wright winning the Worlds will be a regular occurrence. “Then I just have to make sure that I will win the World Championship. But we should also not pretend that it is normal for Peter Wright to win the World Championship every year ”, Van Gerwen laughs. "Once is enough."
