Webster and Mardle pick Van Gerwen to end barren run with World Darts Championship glory: “It will eat away at him that he’s only got three World titles”

“Nothing’s changed even more confirmed it, I think Michael van Gerwen wins his fourth,” said Mardle.

“He’s been so dominant but I think it will eat away at him that he’s only got three World titles. But I’m going to have to agree with Wayne on this. It would complete the year for him, back in the winners’ circle.,” said Webster.

“The Premier League, the World Grand Prix, the World Matchplay and now the Players Championship Finsls and it would cap off a fine year if he lifted that trophy.”
