Who Are The Favourites For The 2022 UK Open Darts?
- Gerwyn Price – Despite never lifting the UK Open title, the “Iceman” has a solid record in this unforgiving format. The Welshman has reached two finals and two semi-finals in the last five years and is the rightful favourite following an electric start to 2022.
- Michael van Gerwen – On his day, “MVG” is still capable of brushing aside anyone in world darts. It’s just getting a little less common. The Dutchman is without a recognised TV title for over a year now but has 2015, 2016 and 2020 UK Open titles to fall back on.
- Peter Wright – “Snakebite” won this title in 2017 following back-to-back losses in the final, but the Scot hasn’t faired too well since then. Still, he’s the world number two and is now in the habit of picking up titles – including January’s ‘big one’.
- Jonny Clayton – Despite Clayton’s ridiculous form in 2021, the Welshman is still considered a newbie and outsider on the tour. His darts would prove otherwise with the 2021 Premier League champion looking to add the UK Open to his collection. A semi-final run in 2020 is the best Clayton has managed at this tournament.
