The two Lukes lead the way, which might not surprise most.

Josh Rock, a recent World Cup of Darts champion, is in third place with an average of 98.53. He could be in for a big run in a major to finish off the year.

Gary Anderson was knocked out early in the 2025 PDC WC, but he currently has the fourth-highest average in 2025. The veteran player with major titles to his name is still in search of reemerging for another.

Gian van Veen and Dirk van Duijvenbode also stick out as two Dutch players in the top 7.

24	Callan Rydz	ENG	204
25	Dave Chisnall	ENG	202

Littler being at the top of the list makes sense since the Premier League accounts for a large chunk of his total.

Dirk and Ross Smith are interesting names to see following Littler, but with how often they play well on the Euro Tour and at Players Championship events, it makes sense.

Michael van Gerwen is just outside this list as number 26, which is a bit of a surprise, even though he has taken time off and missed some events.

Gian van Veen has an impressive and sizeable lead in this category.

He has emerged on the darts scene over the past few years, and the stats only back him up as a contender in upcoming events. He has the skills to compete with the likes of any player in the PDC.

A couple of interesting names are towards the top of the list, but volume does make a difference in this category that isn't 'total' based.

Jonny Clayton and Damon Heta will be looking to have strong performances in tournaments in the second half of the year, in an attempt to get a spot in the Premier League of Darts.

A lot of the top players are towards the top of the list, but some shocking ones are mixed in.

This stat gives the most insight into what players are likely winning most of the games they play, which, again, to few people's surprise, Littler is at the top.

Wessel Nijman is in the top 10 and continues to be a popular name, making his case for a big title soon.
