PDC Nine-Dart Club

The PDC awards gold pins to players that threw televised nine-darters over the year, and silver pins to those that threw non-televised nine-darters.[20] There have been 343 total nine-darters thrown by 167 different players in PDC events.[21] 53 of the PDC nine-darters were televised, with an additional 39 that have been thrown on streamed boards of the Pro Tour that are not included in the televised lists. Michael van Gerwen holds the record for PDC nine-darters, with 24 perfect games in PDC tournaments. A record 47 nine-darters were during the 2019 season, though only one of them was televised.[21] James Wade has been on the receiving end of a record 11 nine-darters, notably including the first double-start perfect game by Brendan Dolan at the World Grand Prix, and two perfect games in one match by Phil Taylor in the 2010 Premier League.[21]

Most Improved Player

The Most Improved Player is a defunct award that was only awarded at the 2014 and 2017 Awards Dinners, where it took the place of Best Newcomer. UK Open semi-finalist Peter Wright was named 2013 Most Improved Player, and European Championship runner up Mensur Suljović was named the 2016 Most Improved Player.

PDC Hall of Fame

In 2005, the PDC introduced a Hall of Fame to recognise individuals with noteworthy contributions to darts. The first two inductees were Eric Bristow and John Lowe, great rivals throughout the eighties and early nineties – at least one of these two players managed to reach the World Championship Final each year for the first 14 incarnations of the World Professional Darts Championship, from 1978 to 1991, with three being played against each other. As of 2007, Hall of Fame inductees are now announced at the PDC Awards Dinner. The inductees comprise players, officials, administrators, commentators, and presenters that have contributed to the sport of darts and the success of the PDC.[22]
