Alongside Luke Littler, Humphries will combine to make another strong campaign at the PDC World Cup of Darts.
Gian van Veen and Michael van Gerwen
Gian van Veen is one of the rising stars with Premier League and major final experience. His fearless, aggressive style of play has driven his high averages and big finishes. van Veen has struggled to maintain his form over lengthy campaigns. He has less experience handling pressure on the biggest stages, an area that could prove crucial in this event.
Michael van Gerwen is a well-experienced dart player and a fearless challenger with strong scoring potential. His achievements include being a five-time Premier League champion and a multiple-time world champion. Alongside Gian van Veen, van Gerwen will represent the Netherlands at the PDC World Cup of Darts. Van Gerwen’s experience and van Veen’s emerging talent could establish the Dutch pair as title contenders.
