With the 2026 Players Championship campaign having progressed beyond its midpoint, the accumulated darts data offers a compelling insight into the competitors who have demonstrated the greatest levels of consistency. Bang On Target suggest that Dutch star Wessel Nijman currently possesses the highest winning percentage on the ProTour, emerging victorious in an extraordinary 84.5 per cent of his encounters.
World number two Luke Humphries is the only other player to have surpassed the 80% threshold, although his comparatively limited schedule should be acknowledged.

Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen also occupy positions among the leading percentages, albeit with fewer tournament appearances. Consequently, attention is drawn towards competitors such as Chris Dobey (main image) and Kevin Doets, whose attendance records and sustained excellence render their achievements particularly meritorious. Veteran Andrew Gilding, another near ever-present performer, continues to exhibit remarkable equanimity and efficiency throughout the campaign.
Power scoring statistics further reinforce Nijman’s pre-eminence. The Dutchman had amassed 255 maximums at the time of writing, making him the circuit’s foremost exponent of heavy scoring. Only Chris Dobey and Kevin Doets have also breached the 200-mark, underlining the formidable scoring capabilities that have propelled all three men towards the latter stages of numerous events.
The same triumvirate dominates the century-average statistics. Nijman leads with 28 ton-plus performances, followed by Dobey on 25 and Doets on 24. Such figures inevitably benefit those who have participated in the majority of events, yet they nevertheless illustrate the exceptional standards required to flourish on the professional stage.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, the numbers paint a more melancholic picture. Croatian player Pero Ljubic remains without a victory after ten appearances, while Germany’s Matthias Ehlers has recorded just one success from thirteen tournaments. Stefaan Henderyck and Rusty-Jake Rodriguez have each managed only two victories despite competing in the overwhelming majority of events.
Maximum statistics also reveal that Ljubic and Maximilian Czerwinski are the only Tour Card holders yet to reach double figures in 180s, recording seven and nine respectively.

Although statistics are not infallible, they provide an invaluable barometer of form. As the season advances towards its denouement, the data indicates that few players have exhibited the same degree of consistency and scoring potency as Wessel Nijman, Chris Dobey and Kevin Doets, whose performances have been characterised by an almost preternatural level of proficiency.
