Three World Championships. A 123.40 average that Guinness confirmed as the highest in televised darts history. Nineteen consecutive perfect darts in a single World Championship match. All seven PDC major ranking titles held simultaneously. These are not career highlights — these are ten moments that prove Michael van Gerwen is something the sport had never seen before and may never see again.
We count down all ten, in full detail: the 2006 comeback at seventeen that nobody saw coming, the first PDC major won from 0-3 down against Mervyn King, back-to-back near nine-darters against James Wade, the Premier League final that ended Phil Taylor’s era, the 2017 World Championship final where he and Anderson combined for 42 maximums in a single match, and the night in Aberdeen where he averaged 123.40 and the previous record — Taylor’s 118.66 — didn’t just fall, it was left in a different category entirely.
