    In fairness to him he's on some run. The issue is that the titles he's winning are Euro Tour events and non-ranking tournaments. He'll be forever questioned until he wins a TV major.

    As an aside, I wonder are the PDC regretting putting Fallon Sherrock in all the World Series events. That 71 average isn't that out of character for her going by women's tour and WDF events. She regularly averages in the 70s.

    Once he breaks that duck he'll start cleaning up I have no doubt about that and as for Sherrock its time she was put out to pasture now at this stage the novelty has well and truly worn off. If they are looking for a female superstar they should be promoting Beau Greaves who has the potential to be a proper superstar.

    Can't recall someone winning 5 tournaments in as short a time as Smith just has, he's on fire. Can't wait for the Matchplay!

    Thought the point of the world series is to promote the game far away with the world's best players. Its on in Holland tonight and one of the "pdc superstars" averaged 72

    No idea why they need a Dutch series if the World Series is to promote the game around the world.

    The first 12 events of the Women's Tour have been completed so we now know the 8 qualifiers for the first ever Women's World Matchplay. Good news on the Irish front is that Irish player Katie Sheldon has qualified as she is currently 7th the rankings.

    Here's the full list:

    Yeah highest average. Peter Wright currently holds it. I think Rock actually missed 5 darts at double in the match so it could have been a fair bit higher.

    MVG holds the highest televised average. Peter Wright has the highest average overall as he did 123.5 in a Players Championships event in 2019.

    Just realized there was a world series event over the weekend. Not that it means much but looks like van gerwen is back to dominating the Tv events . Still don't think he's anywhere near 100% though

    Yeah, there's another one on this weekend and then another the following weekend! You're forgiven for forgetting about it as they are absolutely pointless.

    A couple of things of note though, MvG definitely has his confidence back as he's picking up titles despite not playing his best. Michael Smith continues to lose matches he's expected to win.

    Fallon Sherrock continues to have 'off days' according to commentators as she continually gets beaten with averages in the 70's. I actually think having her in these tournaments is doing her no favours at this stage.

    She'd be far more competitive than the golden girl that's for sure an incredible talent at only 18 years of age.

    Top 2 in Women's order of merit qualify for Worlds, wonder if Fallon could end up regretting going to the recent world series event. Only 4 more events are left
