Van Gerwen now sole record holder, eclipses Taylor with seven Premier League final wins
PDCFriday, 26 May 2023 at 13:00
It's official. Michael van Gerwen is now the most successful player in Premier League Darts history, eclipsing Phil Taylor by taking his record seventh title on Thursday night at the O2 Arena in London.
Despite some concerns around the health of the Dutchman, after a shoulder injury forced him to withdraw from last Thursday's semi-final with Dimitri Van den Bergh, Van Gerwen was at his brilliant best, having too much for both Michael Smith and Gerwyn Price to claim his seventh Premier League Darts Title in some style.
Phil 'the Power' Taylor, for so long to dominant form in the world of darts, was the former record holder with his haul of six Premier League wins. Gary Anderson is the only other player with multiple Premier League titles, claiming victory twice.
Each of James Wade, Glen Durrant, Jonny Clayton and Raymond van Barneveld have a sole title win to their name.

- 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.
