Most wins of the bet365 US Darts Masters 

There have been four winners of the competition over its five stagings.

Van Gerwen leads the list with two titles - winning in both 2017 and 2023, whilst Gary Anderson, Nathan Aspinall, and Michael Smith have also tasted Stateside success.

Four-time world champion van Gerwen won the first bet365 US Darts Masters, beating Daryl Gurney 8-6 in the 2017 final before Anderson overcame Rob Cross 8-4 in the showpiece 12 months later.

In 2019, it was Aspinall who came good as he saw off Michael Smith 8-4 in a final in which he averaged 106.70, although Bully Boy made up for that defeat as he took the honours against van Gerwen, winning 8-4 when the tournament returned in 2022, which was for the first time in New York.

Van Gerwen then became the first multiple winner when he claimed his second title in 2023, following up his Premier League triumph with an 8-0 victory in New York over surprise finalist, American Jeff Smith.
