Wright looks back with fondness at PDC World Darts Championship win: "It meant more beating Van Gerwen"
PDC
Peter Wright will aim for a second World title on December 17 when he starts his PDC World Darts Championship campaign.
He first reached the final in 2014 losing 7-4 to Michael van Gerwen in a make or break year for 'Snakebite'.
"That was the year that if I didn't do any good as well that we'd have to call it a day. I wasn't ready to be World Champion, in my head even though I tried, I missed a few doubles to win sets but last time I knew I was ready," said Wright to the PDC.
Onto 2020 and he finally beat Michael van Gerwen to win a major and it was the biggest one of them all.
"It meant more beating Michael (van Gerwen), the amount of finals that I've given him. I didn't have the thing to cross the line and to win."
"I achieved my dream of being World Champion from starting off from the age of 13 wanting to play darts."

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
