Now that he is unleashed, how far will he go?

Voted 6-10. I don’t think one player will dominate ever again.

10-15

Provided he is around another 15/20 years

Possibly more than wadey, cracking little player indeed

6-10

Cannot see him dominating

10-15. He's a heavy scorer which will always give him opportunities to win, even if never having another big year.

Plus, the European Tour could end up on UK TV at some point, which would make them TV tournaments.

No, it won't.

Who knows. He could carry it on, or it might just end straight away. In the last couple of months, Humphries has been the best player in the world, but he doesn't feel invincible like Taylor or Van Gerwen have in the past, yet. For Humphries, carry on doing what he's doing and try to take his level and achievements even higher still. For the rest of the field, they need to stop him at the World Championship. It's important for them. If Humphries were to dominate and win the 2024 World Championship, the chances of him dominating darts for a more extended time go up several levels.

Given the sheer volume of events played 10-15:doesn't seek unreasonable.

No, it won't.

It's already on Viaplay, although they are definitely not 'Premier' events

6 seems crazily low, Wade has more than 10, and he's arguably never been as good as Humphries is now, he's certainly never been world #1 with Taylor around for so much of his career

This.

He's young too.

Bit difficult to predict this far into the future. He's pretty young. Barring injuries I can see him carrying on picking up the biggies on a regular basis.

Humphries on a hot streak at the moment and a worthy favourite for the Worlds. That being said form is temporary so him winning more tv tournaments over the next 12 months is by no means a certainty.

For me the biggest thing going for him is he can produce the goods at key times as evidenced against Gary at the Grand Slam and MVG last night.

I voted for 6-10.

On a hot streak it would be interesting to see what happens at the World Championship as he will go in as favourite.

Interestingly he now has more TV titles then Michael Smith

Wade is on 10 TV titles and Cross, Price and Wright are still nowhere near that number. So it just shows how long it can take to reach that amount.

Wadey won't finish on just 10 tv titles though, he isn't finished yet.

Only events shown in the UK are considered “tv titles”?
