'I beat MVG but have been nicknamed the Michael Buble of darts – I want to change that' Scott Williams is hoping to shed his reputation as the ‘Michael Buble of darts’ – but not until after the World Championship.
“People have joked, calling me the Michael Buble of darts because I only turn up in October, November and December!” said Williams, who faces German Niko Springer in the first round tonight (Thursday).
Following his stunning run to the semi-finals at the 2023/24 tournament, which included an upset victory over Michael van Gerwen in the last eight, the Lincolnshire thrower has had a solid if unspectacular year.
However, not for the first time, he appears to be running into form ahead of Ally Pally, enjoying a strong run at the Players Championship Finals in Minehead, where he reached the quarter-finals.
I want to try and change that next year by getting into a couple more TV events, just to take my game to the next level.
