Michael van Gerwen was immediately eliminated on the final day of the PDC Winter Series in Coventry. The number one in the world blamed himself in the second round against the Englishman Callum Rydz: 4-6. He also got into a fight with the Welshman Jonathan Worsley on Saturday.
Van Gerwen, who had a bye in the first round, and Rydz kept pace until the eighth leg. Then the global number 106 took care of the first break, after which he also won the tenth leg.
On Friday, the 31-year old from Brabant also stranded early in his first Winter Series tournament. Then he was eliminated in the third round by Adrian Lewis.
Van Gerwen dropped the first days of the Winter Series, because he wanted to recover from his back problems in peace. After a few treatments in the Netherlands, he felt fit enough to take action for the last two days.
The three-time world champion has had back problems since last weekend. He therefore paid a visit to the hospital in Salzburg during the World Cup of Darts. There he was diagnosed with a trapped nerve under the rib in his right side.
Van Gerwen got into a fight with Worsley
At the beginning of the final day, Van Gerwen got into trouble with Worsley. He was pushed by the Welshman, who was subsequently banned from participating in the final Winter Series tournament by the PDC.
Worsley had previously asked the tournament director why he was warned earlier this week about an illegal shirt while keeping the scores, while Van Gerwen had someone else record the scores and received no warning.
That went wrong with Van Gerwen. “Van Gerwen came to my table and started to grumble me. He tried to intimidate me and called me a snitch,” said Worsley.
In the Winter Series, five Players Championships were played in Coventry from Tuesday to Saturday. Every day 128 dart players competed for the top prize of £ 10,000 (over 11,000 euros).
The Grand Slam of Darts will also start in Coventry next Monday. Van Gerwen won that tournament in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Last year he lost in the semi-finals to the later winner Gerwyn Price.
