As far as the phrase ‘anyone can win it’ goes, never has it been more fitting than when it comes to the Betfred World Matchplay…
In the last seven instalments of the competition, seven different players have lifted the coveted Phil Taylor Trophy.
This includes Taylor in 2017, Gary Anderson in 2018, Rob Cross in 2019, Dimitri Van den Bergh in 2020, Peter Wright in 2021, Michael van Gerwen in 2022 and Nathan Aspinall in last year’s showpiece.
So, who will be crowned champion come July when we return to the iconic Winter Gardens in Blackpool?
Given the form of teenage sensation Luke Littler, the resurgence of Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith’s Premier League displays and with World Champion Luke Humphries also lurking, another new winner could well be on the cards.
2024 has got off to a flying start so far; a historic win for Stephen Bunting in the Masters, Littler’s nine-darter on his way to a first senior title, and deciding-leg wins for Van Gerwen in Berlin and Glasgow…
