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.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
