In the annual ranking, “Mighty Mike”, as Van Gerwen is called in the scene, only took 27th place. The former dominator and three world champions had to accept some bitter defeats in 2025. “I see it when he goes on the stage: If it is a slower, lifeless invasion of no presence, I already know what kind of match it will be,” said van der Voort.
