All PDC premier events are classed as majors, that’s official, but I guess the word of a few on here is right and not the PDC.
I know you are upset about last night, but there is no need to be so passive aggressive.

The PDC class most of their TV events as Premier events. I adopt the snooker model and only classify a percentage of these events as majors (Worlds, PL, MP, Open, GSOD, GP)
🤣
You can adopt whatever model you want, your opinion isn’t worth Jack shit, same as anyone else’s on here. To the PDC and the dart players, they are all major titles.

Maybe we ought to have a discussion/argument about what constitutes a major.
I don’t think it has ever been done before on here.

Did anyone ever say Littler would never win anything? He may have avoided the reverse curse.

Think I will add a couple who've had near misses.

Ryan Searle. Think if he was as determined as other players are at their game, he would win one. I think he's happy with his life and earnings and doesn't have enough ambition to add that extra 5% to his game that would win him one.

Dirk van Duijvenbode. Too mentally feeble. Simple as really

Also a Paul Linwood enjoyer

It's a week long, played over long course after the pointless group stage.
Personally I'd probably rank it above the Open.

Even last year, 16-year-old Luke Littler did everything at the 2024 World Championship except win it basically (Humphries' experience was the difference), and now Littler has won the 2025 World Championship as a 17-year-old where his youth and form did beat 3-time world champion MvG's experience in the final.
