Michael van Gerwen continued his dominance in the darts world with another impressive victory at the MVM Dome. The Dutch superstar claimed his 36th European Tour win in May 2023 at the Belgian Darts Trophy, and he added to his remarkable record with a thrilling decider in the final.
Van Veen was hoping to secure his first senior PDC title, but he was left disappointed after missing a match dart at the bullseye. Van Gerwen capitalized on this mistake and took the final’s deciding leg with a clinical 110 checkout.
In addition to his European Tour success, Van Gerwen also triumphed in a Players Championship earlier in the week. He even managed to hit a nine-darter in the second round on Saturday. The Dutchman’s incredible form saw him scoop two titles in just five days, along with a total of £45,000 in prize money.
The atmosphere at the MVM Dome was electric, as fans were treated to three nine-darters throughout the weekend – a first on the European Tour. Van Gerwen joined Cor Dekker in achieving perfection on Saturday, while Martin Schindler completed the hat-trick of nine-darters during Sunday afternoon’s third round. However, Schindler’s bid for a second European Tour title was halted by Stephen Bunting.
The action does not stop there, as the PDC European Tour is set to continue next weekend with the inaugural Swiss Darts Trophy in Basel from September 27-29. Dart fans can catch all the excitement live on Viaplay, DAZN, and PDCTV (excluding Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), as well as through various bookmakers’ websites worldwide.
