Van Gerwen's win percentage on ProTour has dropped considerably

In his prime, Michael van Gerwen dominated ProTour tournaments but this year it is not clicking for the World Number Three who sits in August without a title this year.

Three years ago, Van Gerwen won 90.48% of his matches on the Players Championship series of tournaments. The Dutchman played 42 matches in 2018, won 38 and lost only four.

This season Mighty Mike has won almost as many games (42), but also played considerably more games and thus suffered more defeats. The three-time world champion has had seventeen losses so far.

As a result, his winning percentage on the ProTour has dropped from 90.48% in 2018 to 71.19% in 2021, according to figures from TheRedBit180.

Another interesting stat comes from Ochepedia which shows the decline with 66 of 142 players who have played at least 10 matches on the ProTour this season having thrown at least one nine or 10 darter. Van Gerwen isn't one with his best leg being an 11-darter.
