Who is Michael van Gerwen

Michael van Gerwen opened up on his financial situation ahead of the 2023 Darts World Championship at Alexandra Palace.  He will aim to win a fourth world title They say a rich man's joke is always funny, and a spendthrift can laugh at his affluence. Van Gerwen is on course to become the first darts player to earn £10 million in prize money, but even a three-times world champion has found the cost of living crisis pulling him back into line.it is also about my love for the game. I love winning tournaments, I love performing on stage, I like the game still too much and, yes, I like the money. That's why I do it. I have an expensive lifestyle, I admit that. Of course, we like to do nice things with our earnings. What's my biggest expenditure so far? Probably my gas bill at the moment! Life is getting more and more expensive for everyone. But if you like to do nice things, you have to work hard at it or work longer. Fortunately, I don’t have a problem with working. As the Dutchman prepare to begin his quest for a fourth world title, van Gerwen believes he will have huge pressure on his shoulders as he heads into the event as one of the favorites. The  33-year-old enters the tournament in a rich vein of form, having won the Premier League, the World Match play, the World Grand Prix in 2022 as well as the Player's Championship Finals last month. After winning his fifth title of the year last month, MVG believes he will  would go into the tournament as favorite anyway even without the wins, Van Gerwen said. People always want to beat me, I know that. I have a big target on my back, but I can handle it. I've been under pressure so many times, and most of the time, I've survived. As long as you keep working, keep digging, then everything works out. Someone who is on form at the moment is Michael Smith. But a rejuvenated and motivated Dutchman says things are different this time. "Of course. I want to win. But it's still going to be a hard tournament, everyone knows that. It means a lot. It's what I work for, it's what I want to win. Last year, everyone knows, was a disaster for me. The year before, as well with Coronavirus, without crowds is not the best thing. But we're back to normal now, and also my form has started to get back to normal now, so I hope that's a great combination to make sure I'm going to do well again. Winning tournments gives a lot of confidence. I have a big target on my back, but I can handle it. I've been under pressure so many times, and most of the time, I've survived. As long as you keep working, keep digging, then everything works out. Someone who is on form at the moment is Michael Smith.He is the insipiration for others.
