PDC World Championship Favourites

So who are the top 5 favourites and what do we know about them and their current form?

Luke Humphries

Current  World Ranking: 3

‘Cool Hand Luke’ Humphries holds a total of 12 PDC titles, and is currently ranked at number 3 in the PDC World rankings. Humphries has had an extremely successful year to date,  winning the World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals in 2023. All things considered, it is unsurprising that Luke Humphries is the top favourite to win the PDC World Championship in 2024.

Michael van Gerwen

Current  World Ranking: 2

‘Mighty Mike’ Michael van Gerwen holds a whopping 163 PDC titles, and is currently ranked as World number two in the PDC rankings. While van Gerwen has had a hugely successful career spanning more than decade, 2023 has continued that success, with wins this year including the World Series Finals and the Premier League

Gerwyn Price

Current  World Ranking: 5

Gerwyn ‘The Iceman’ Price holds 44 PDC titles, and is currently at number five in the PDC World rankings.  A previous winner of the PDC Darts World Championship in 2021, Price won the World Cup of Darts, the European Darts Open and the International Darts Open earlier this year, making him an unsurprising choice for the top five favourites to win this World Championship.

Michael Smith

Current  World Ranking: 1

The ‘Bully Boy’ Michael Smith is the current World Champion and World number one darts player in the PDC World rankings. While you might expect Michael Smith to be the bookies’ favourite to take the Championship a second time around, his recent shock exit of the Players Championship in the first round suggests that he may not be in top form at the current time.

Gary Anderson

Current  World Ranking: 21

Gary ‘Flying Scotsman’ Anderson holds 53 PDC titles. While most of these have not been achieved in particularly recent years, a string of Players’ Championship title wins this year has put him firmly into the bookies’ top five to win the PDC Darts World Championship.
