MICHAEL has gained vast experience during his debut year in the PDC ranks, having burst onto the scene as a teenage star to win a host of Opens and the World Masters title.
His reputation as the hottest young talent in darts was confirmed shortly after he moved onto the PDC circuit in January, when he landed a nine-darter in the Masters of Darts semi-final against Raymond van Barneveld.
Van Gerwen's consistent displays in Players Championship events earned him a place in the World Matchplay this summer, where he defeated Peter Manley before suffering a narrow loss to Ronnie Baxter.
The quick-throwing Dutchman missed out on the Las Vegas Desert Classic and World Grand Prix, and was a last 32 casualty in the UK Open, but is tipped for an outstanding future.
