A lot of casuals probably do.
The PDC seem to deem it the third biggest event. The players probably do too. Look at the first prize.

Didn’t Phil Taylor once state the PL was the biggest event after the worlds? ( Not my view )

Bigger than the Slam and UK Open imo but definitely not the rest.
Got a decent tv record vs Price. Beat him at the Worlds in 2017, enroute to the PCF final and in the Austrian Open final.SuperSwede wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 6:58 pmClayton seems highly likely to have his belly tickled by Price and thank him for the pleasure. Love him to prove me wrong on that score.DeepFriedRat wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 10:34 am16 would be decent. Potential Price game in R2 won't scare him. He hasn't threw a dart in months and has an awful Matchplay record since he beat the Snackpot (Clayton does too tbf)Rogg wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 8:29 am July 10th cut-off.
8 Players Championships to come before that.
Clayton still not a seed, rofl. If he does crawl into them, he'll likely be #16...

My list is similar to yours. I would put PL at 3 and I’d have the Grand Prix just ahead of the slam then U.K. open then I agree with your list, although I’d put Masters on a par with World Series final.DeepFriedRat wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 8:41 pmBigger than the Slam and UK Open imo but definitely not the rest.
Slam only became ranked a few years back and has had shite BDO and Floor cloggers stinking up it's credibility for years.
UK Open got downgraded massively when it moved to Butlins. Week long majors just have more prestige, now it's more or less a big open draw Euro Tour.
For me it's a tier of...
Worlds
Matchplay and Grand Prix similar, Matchplay only just slightly bigger due to format, longevity and prize money.
PL
UK Open, Slam and PCFs (moved up a tier after it became 64 players) all level
Europeans
*Big gap*
Masters
*Bigger gap*
World Series Finals and World Cup. Tinpot tournaments.

I think the slam was actually better when the BDO players did well in it and when Ted was playing
I mean, the Matchplay is definitely bigger than the PL, but lol, the way some people on here talk about the PL makes me laugh. The Premier League has a huge prize fund, pits the best against the best week in week out, in front of huge crowds, but no, the Austrian Darts Open is bigger because it's rankedHalloweenJack wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 8:07 pmWhy not?

Its probably because we are nerds in terms of following darts. The average Yaya singing Joe love the Worlds and PL and not much else. Dont think anyone can deny the money in the PL but personally I think Winning The Matchplay, Grand Prix, Slam and UK Open has more meaning but if you asked the players they would say PL as money talks.thegentle wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 9:44 pmI mean, the Matchplay is definitely bigger than the PL, but lol, the way some people on here talk about the PL makes me laugh.

For me anyway, this past PL was a breath of fresh air, with top quality debutants and the blocks to stop it dragging out.Safc wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 10:57 pmIts probably because we are nerds in terms of following darts.

I'd rather watch 17 Players Championships or Euro tours than the PL personally but that's me I prefer watching different players instead of the same 10/8 for 17 weeks. Plus the set format of the Worlds and GP and the extended format in the Matchplay and Slams unique format always appeals to me.
