World Grand Prix title not successfully defended in 10 years in new list compiled
PDCThursday, 03 October 2019 at 14:33
In new statistics released by Darts statistician Christopher Kempf aka as Ochepedia, it has been revealed that the World Grand Prix has an unwanted record and only The Masters and Premier League have been successfully defended.
These have been done so by Michael van Gerwen who alongside his World Championship; won his other two majors of the year in these two events.
The Grand Slam which has been won in the past two years; in the form of Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen and so it has been two years since it was last defended.
One title though in particular is World Grand Prix and that hasn't been defended for 10 years. Michael van Gerwen has won four titles since 2012 but in the intervening years it has always been a new winner.
Case and point was him winning in 2016; but then losing the following year to Daryl Gurney and with his form questioned on occasion this year, can he break the unwanted record?

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
