The world's top darters will descend on Cardiff, Belfast, Exeter, and Manchester for the 2023 Cazoo Premier League, with reigning champion Michael van Gerwen and returning legend Phil Taylor among the star attractions.
Van Gerwen has been the dominant force in darts for the past decade, winning three Premier League titles in the last four years. The Dutchman is known for his blistering pace, pinpoint accuracy, and ruthless finishing. He will be aiming to extend his reign at the top of the darting world in 2023.
Van Gerwen's main challengers are likely to come from a clutch of talented young players, including Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright, and Michael Smith. Price is the current World Champion, Wright is a two-time Premier League winner, and Smith has been in excellent form in recent months.
The return of Phil Taylor to the Premier League is a major coup for the organizers. Taylor is the most successful player in darts history, winning 16 World Championships and 11 Premier League titles. He retired from the sport in 2018, but he has been persuaded to make a comeback for the 2023 season.
Taylor's presence will add an extra dimension to the Premier League. He is a true legend of the sport and his matches are always highly anticipated. It will be fascinating to see how he competes against the younger generation of players.
The Premier League consists of 16 regular-season matches, followed by the Play-Offs. The regular season takes place from February to May, with matches played on Thursday nights. The Play-Offs will be held in London on June 26-27.
The format of the Premier League is unique. Each match is played over 12 legs, with the first player to reach 7 legs winning the match. There is no draw in the Premier League.
The Premier League is one of the most popular darts tournaments in the world. In 2022, the tournament attracted an average TV audience of 1.2 million viewers per night. The tournament is also a lucrative one, with the winner taking home a prize of £250,000.
The Premier League has been won by a variety of players over the years. Van Gerwen has been the most successful player in recent years, but Taylor, Price, and Wright have also all won the tournament.
