The PDC Annual Awards took place on Monday at The Dorchester in London with Michael van Gerwen claiming the main award of Player of the Year.
Van Gerwen by his high standards did not have the best year of his career but came back at the end to claim the World Championship for a third time.
This joined his Premier League, Masters, World Grand Prix, World Cup Of Darts; as well as nineteen Euro Tour titles won in 2018.
He also won the Pro Tour Player of the Year due to his aforementioned form away from the TV.
There were also awards for Michael Smith and Gary Anderson who both enjoyed great years. These were PDPA and Fans’ Player of the Year respectively.
Also Rod Harrington was announced as the next inductee in the PDC Hall of Fame.
Harrington who was a brilliant player in his own right winning two World Matchplay titles is recognised for his contribution to the sport.
This includes in youth darts with him playing a massive part in the Development Tour beginning as well as other periphery tours.
As well as that, his part in the breakaway of the PDC and his commentary work mean his addition is well warranted.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
