Phil Taylor won six of the thirteen tournaments he appeared in, going unbeaten throughout the first three seasons and winning the first four. James Wade defeated Mervyn King 13-8 in the 2009 final to break Phil Taylor’s dominance.
Taylor won again in 2010 but was defeated in the semi-finals in the 2011 tournament, won by Gary Anderson in his debut season. Phil Taylor reclaimed the title in 2012 which was his seventh and final title. Taylor reached the semifinals in 2013 and 2016.
Michael van Gerwen took over as the dominant player in Premier League Darts after beating Taylor 10-8 in the 2013 final.
Raymond van Barneveld won in 2014 and Gary Anderson won his second title in 2015, but Van Gerwen won four straight from 2016-2019. MVG won again in 2022 and 2023 to become the most successful in Premier League history with seven wins.

Premier League Darts expanded to feature nine main players and nine wild cards that compete in 16 rounds before the Play-offs.
However, for 2021 the tournament reverted to a 10-player format due to coronavirus restrictions with the entire Premier League taking place at Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes. Jonny Clayton was crowned champion of the short-fire tournament.
In 2022, the Premier League moved back to Thursday night slots with eight players featuring at events staged across UK, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands. Van Gerwen won that year, and again in 2023.
