Van Gerwen extends World Series record further; as many titles as three darts legends combined

Michael van Gerwen captured the title at the US Darts Masters last weekend in the legendary sporting arena, Madison Square Gardens in New York.
During the final day of the World Series tournament, he successively defeated Jim Long (6-2), Rob Cross (7-6) and surprise finalist Jeff Smith (8-0). It won him the top prize of ยฃ20,000. Moreover, it was already his eighteenth World Series title, which puts him above the rest once again.
It was the 53rd World Series of Darts tournament in the history of the PDC, which means that Van Gerwen has won almost one third of all the events held.
The Dutchman is a block ahead of the other darts players on the honors list of the World Series tournaments. Van Gerwen has even won as many as the numbers two, three and four on the list combined, and those are not the least names.
Number two on the list is none other than 16-time world champion Phil Taylor, who was successful in a World Series tournament eight times in his career. This is followed by former world champions Gary Anderson (six titles) and Peter Wright (four titles).

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
