In the highly competitive world of professional darts, consistency is key. An exclusive group of just 11 players has achieved a remarkable feat: winning Pro Tour events in each of the last three years (2024-2026). This illustrious list features top talents like Michael van Gerwen, Luke Littler, and Michael Smith, but it’s the lesser-known Richard Nijman who surprisingly leads the pack with 11 titles, showcasing an incredible run of form. This article delves into the achievements of these darts titans and also notes a recent local success story for Michael van de Ven.
The Pinnacle of Consistency: Darts’ Elite 11
Professional darts demands not just skill, but relentless consistency. The PDC Pro Tour, a series of Players Championship and European Tour events, is where the sport’s top players battle it out week after week. Winning a single event is a monumental achievement, but maintaining that winning form across multiple years is truly extraordinary.
An exclusive club of just 11 players has managed to win at least one Pro Tour event in each of the last three years (2024, 2025, and 2026). This remarkable streak highlights their enduring talent and dedication.
