Michael van Gerwen won the
Premier League Darts on Thursday. During the play-offs, 'Mighty Mike' outlasted his rivals Michael Smith (10-8) and Gerwyn Price (11-5).
There is not much time to celebrate his final victory. On Saturday, Van Gerwen boards the plane to New York, where the US Darts Masters is on the programme next week. So the 34-year-old leaves early in that direction.
''Just taking it easy for a few days,'' Van Gerwen told reporters after his final victory in the Premier League. ''I have three days off, so is a lot for me,'' he laughed.
What the seven-time Premier League champion will do in the coming days in New York, he does not yet know. For that matter, he himself thinks he has little say in the matter. ''The wife is the boss hey'', joked Van Gerwen.
