Michael van Gerwen is the favorite to win the tournament, according to the bookies in England. The Dutchman is currently ranked second in the PDC Order of Merit, and he has the most experience in this event. Michael has won the World Grand Prix title six times before, while all of the other 31 players combined have won only five.
Michael is in great form, as he has won the World Series of Darts Finals, Premier League Darts, Poland Darts Masters, US Darts Masters, and the Belgian Darts Open, all in 2023.

Gerwyn Price has reached the World Grand Prix finals twice in the last three years. He went all the way to the semifinals in 2022 before losing to Nathan Aspinall as a favorite. Gerwyn has won the European Darts Open this year and was very close to winning the Premier League Darts. Price has a good draw in this tournament and can go to the finals if he performs at his best.

Dave Chisnall will be facing Luke Humphries in the World Grand Prix first round. Dave is in much better form right now, as he is on a 12-game winning streak, while Luke has lost three of his last six matches. Chisnall has beaten Woodhouse in four of their last six head-to-head games. The all-English matchup is unlikely to go to three sets, as Dave is in good form and can finish it with a 2-0 win.
The World Grand Prix is always a fun event to watch, and we will be going with Michael van Gerwen to keep his dominance in this tournament. Make sure you use our PDC 2023 World Grand Prix betting predictions and bet them at the legal darts bookies to have more fun watching the event.
