🎯 Exciting times for darts fans as Michael van Gerwen gears up for the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship! Already a three-time champ, MVG is setting his sights on a dazzling fourth title in his face-off against Japan’s Mitsuhiko Tatsunami. 🏆
But it’s been a turbulent time off the oche for the Dutch superstar. Earlier this year, Van Gerwen announced his split from wife Daphne, with whom he shares two lovely children. The news came as a shock to fans, but MVG took to social media to express the difficulty of the decision and ask for privacy during these tough times.
Van Gerwen took a step back from darts to focus on family, skipping key tournaments like the Dutch Darts Championship. His return to form started at the US Darts Masters, sharing that reorganising his schedule was crucial for prepping for his next big win.
Health hasn’t been a smooth ride either. Van Gerwen underwent a series of jaw operations, a procedure demanding enough on its own. The surgeries, which involved breaking his jaw to correct an issue, sidelined him temporarily—but true to form, he’s back and ready to take on the world!
Despite the personal and physical hurdles, MVG remains positive and grateful for the overwhelming support from fans. “Family always comes first,” he says, and thanks everyone for their continued encouragement.
With a laser focus on the game and rejuvenated spirit, the stage is set for Michael to reclaim his title. Can ‘The Green Machine’ dominate once more? 🎯💪
