Christopher Kempf, who keeps statistics for the PDC, calculated that Michael van Gerwen currently has the highest averages.

For his rankings, Kempf takes into account statistics from the last 200 legs each Tour Card holder has played on the Pro Tour. Averages, 171-180 scores, finishes requiring three arrows and your percentage on doubles are taken into account.
