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).

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
