Incredibly, Dutchman Wessel Nijman boasts the highest tournament average (107.67) at a Grand Slam of Darts event, despite failing to win a single match.

Somehow, despite notching averages of 106.51, 105.39 and 111.10, Nijman was beaten in all three of his Group H matches by Stephen Bunting, Josh Rock and Gian van Veen in 2024.

This despite registering higher scoring averages than all three of his opponents!

In fact, last year's event produced the top three highest tournament averages, with Van Veen (106.58) and Luke Littler (105.81) joining Nijman on the list.

Highest Grand Slam of Darts Match Average

115.19 - Michael van Gerwen v Joe Cullen (Group Stage, 2021)

Michael van Gerwen boasts the highest match average in the Grand Slam of Darts, scoring an astronomical 115.19 in a 5-2 victory over Joe Cullen in 2021.

Surprisingly, unlike many other tournaments, seven different players make up the highest seven match averages, with Dimiri Van den Bergh (114.85), Gian van Veen (114.71), Phil Taylor (114.65), Geert De Vos (113.86), Michael Smith (113.62) and Gary Anderson (113.20) completing the list.

Highest three-dart average in a Grand Slam of Darts final

109.04 - Phil Taylor v Gary Anderson (2011)

Despite Luke Littler running Phil Taylor close with a 107.08 average in his emphatic triumph over Martin Lukeman last year, it's the Stoke-on-Trent star who still boasts the highest average (109.04) in a final.

He notched a three-dart figure of 109.04 in his 2011 demolition of Gary Anderson at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall, as he landed a fourth title in five years courtesy of a 16-4 win over the Scotsman.

Grand Slam of Darts 9-Dart Legs
