Michael van Gerwen is back for another exciting 2025 BetMGM Premier League Darts season.
While it has been more than 16 months since his last major title, his runner-up finish at the 2025 PDC World Championship proved ‘Mighty Mike’ is still at the top of his game.
Now, with his sights set on an eighth BetMGM Premier League Darts crown, he is more determined than ever.
A dominant force in the Premier League since 2013, Van Gerwen has claimed the title seven times, with his most recent win in 2023. In 2024, he made headlines again by securing his 300th European Tour victory, making two major semi-finals and winning both the Hungarian Darts Trophy and the Dutch Darts Masters, a clear sign that he remains one of the best in the game.
As the 2025 BetMGM Premier League Darts campaign kicks off on 6th February at the SSE Arena in Belfast, fans are wondering: can ‘the Green Machine’ power his way to another title?
Michael van Gerwen History
For more than a decade, Van Gerwen has dominated professional darts.
With 66 televised PDC titles, he has cemented his place as one of the sport’s all-time greats. The Dutchman is a three-time PDC world champion (2014, 2017, 2019) and a seven-time Premier League winner, with back-to-back victories between 2016 and 2019 and again in 2022 and 2023.
However, his journey has not been without setbacks. Injuries, dental surgery and a 16-month drought without a major title tested his resilience.
But Van Gerwen bounced back stronger, reminding everyone of his unwavering determination by making the final of the 25 World Championship.
As the 2025 BetMGM Premier League Darts season approaches, there is no doubt that Van Gerwen will be aiming to create more unforgettable moments.
