I had the World Grand Prix higher until they diluted the format in 2014.

Michael van Gerwen has the Premier League second. I wonder why? ;)

He has said in interviews that he finds beating the top players week in week out, a tougher event that the Matchplay...
I think the £250k prize may have something to do with it also :D

Premier League = different counties / places = a greater variety of prostitutes.

And the opinions of the people who matter, the PDC. If a handful of contrarians on here disagree, who am I to say otherwise.

Why? Because a few in here see it differently? I’ve seen a post on a previous page whereby safc states he would rather watch a pc event or Euro event to the PL, which is fair enough as that’s his choice, he then states there is more meaningful at stake?? Really? I mean do you think there is one single player who plays in the PDC that would agree with that? Yes there might be oom money but it’s ££££££ that count .

At least it's his own opinion whether I agree or not. You keep on repeating the same stuff that's not even your own opinion. We are all aware what the PDC's stance is, no need for anyone to remind us.

It is my opinion though. I’ve said before ( more than once) the top 5 events are in my opinion,

Worlds
Matchplay
PL
Grand Prix
GSOD

U.K. open would be 6th.

As for safc he is fully entitled to his opinion as are you and anyone else. I didn’t agree with the meaningful part.

Not having the Grand Slam.
I’ve said countless times that it shouldn’t be considered above other tournaments because it wasn’t always a ranking event.

Yes, I know the PL isn’t.
But that is the best of the best going against each other every week.

:lol:

I do actually like the Grand Slam.
But with it not being a ranking event until a few years ago, then it remains below the oldest 4 events for me.

I can't put a 3 day event above a week long one. UK Open might have a richer history (even that's arguable because I think the Grand Slam has been the more significant event for a while), but in the present the GS is surely a bigger event.

I think the fact it is the only cross code event makes it unique and initially at least some of the BDO players did well and progressed to the latter stages. I personally prefer the GSOD and the U.K. open to the PL and Matchplay. The GSOD is one event I’d like to attend and next year it’s likely I will. I’ve been to numerous PL nights in Sheffield and I think it’s fair to say you get quite a few ‘casual fans’ attending although a few aren’t even bothered about watching the darts.
