Van Gerwen takes lead in Premier League Darts standings after back-to-back wins
PDCFriday, 11 March 2022 at 09:31
Michael van Gerwen is the new leader during the regular season in the 2022 Premier League Darts after winning the weekly title for a second week in a row.
In Brighton, he defeated James Wade (6-1), Joe Cullen (6-1) and Michael Smith (6-4). This puts him on 14 points after five weeks which is four points ahead of Peter Wright and Jonny Clayton.
James Wade and Gerwyn Price are both on seven points. Price did not play in Brighton due to a hand injury. Joe Cullen and Michael Smith are on five points, while Gary Anderson ends the table with two points.
The eight participants play a tournament sixteen times. It is classified in such a way that a player meets the other participants twice in a quarterfinal. During two weeks of play, in the eighth and sixteenth weeks, the draw will be made on the basis of the score.
Points can be scored with results during the sixteen tournaments. A semi-final earns two points, a second place three points and a tournament win five points and a £10,000 bonus.
Based on these points, the new Premier League Darts ranking is formed. The top four players advance to the Premier League Darts play-offs.

- Am beginning to wonder if there is to much darts now and players are burning out earlier and with the high rewards now at the top level once a few million has been earned the desire to play wanes. There is no close season as such and there is the exhibition circuit so it is a 12 month circus.Mysstree29-11-2024
- Yes, she is extremely beautiful, sure she went out with Webster(Mark) so doesn't have much taste in men for someone so stunningly beautiful. Aileen is very attractive as well, she kisses every time she throws.richieburnettrocks29-11-2024
- I am attending most of the week and quite looking forward to it. Not sure it has any TV coverage and that won't help. I haven't seen Paul Lim at Lakeside since 94 when John Part completely blitzed him. I would like to see Gary Stone win, talented but not had much success at the championship.

- It’s a (as good as) gauranteed £25,000 for not a lot of effort.Mysstree28-11-2024
- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
