In an event dubbed the ‘Night of Champions’, the 33-year-old competed in a quick-fire best of one leg match.With 120 left on the board and his opponent way back on 274, Van Gerwen had some wiggle room and the pressure was off. There is more than one way to check out with 120, but very few players would even attempt to successfully hit that score by registering three double 20s in a row.But that’s exactly what the world number two did and made the feat look incredibly easy.

Darts icon Michael van Gerwen looks unrecognisable with hair at the 2008 world champs
darts legend Michael van Gerwen without his trademark chrome-dome.The Dutchman, who has had the sport by the scruff of the neck for the majority of the last decade, burst onto the scene in 2007 after throwing an incredible nine-dart finish against compatriot Raymond van Barneveld.Van Gerwen was just 17 years old at the time and still holds the record for the youngest player in history to throw a televised nine-darter.While he struggled for consistency over the next few years, van Gerwen's early career was explosively captivating.He was brash, he was frighteningly talented, and as strange as it looks, he had a head full of hair … well, sort of.Images of Mighty Mike during the 2008 World Championships have emerged and while we're all aware that, logically, he had to have had hair at some point, it still doesn't look or feel right.His thinning, auburn locks - as well as his trim figure - make him look like a completely different person altogether.By the time he won his first PDC major in 2012, van Gerwen had been sporting a shaved head for a few years and had embraced the bald look with style and grace.Two years later at the age of just 24, he won the World Darts Championship for the first time, becoming the youngest man in history to do so - a record he still holds today.What looks weirder - Michael van Gerwen with hair, or Phil Taylor with a moustache? Let us know in the comments section below...He was ranked World No 1 for the next eight years and is currently the second most successful player in PDC history, behind Phil Taylor.The Dutchman was forced to withdraw from the 2022 World Darts Championship after testing positive for Covid-19 ahead of his third-round match against Chris Dobey.
