Michael van Gerwen
Michael van Gerwen is currently the No. 3 ranked player in the world. Van Gerwen had an outstanding year in 2022, winning three-ranked televised events and one non-ranked event. He then opened 2023 with a runner-up finish to Michael Smith in the PDC World Championship.
Van Gerwen had a shaky start to the 2023 Premier League season, but he has found his footing in the past three weeks and has been dominant. With six weeks completed, Van Gerwen sits in first place in the standings with 20 points. His closest competitor is the second-placed Michael Smith with 12 points.
Van Gerwen opens Night Seven with a quarter-finals matchup against Peter Wright, who is in eighth place with two points on the season.
Michael Smith
The No. 1 player in the world, Michael Smith, had possibly the toughest draw of Night One when he matched up against Michael van Gerwen in the Quarter-Finals. Van Gerwen triumphed in that game, beating Smith 6-3 and then moving on to the Finals, where he fell to Chris Dobey. On Night Two, Smith got past his first-round opponent, Jonny Clayton, but he dropped his semi-final matchup against Nathan Aspinall by a score of 6-4. On Night Three, Smith dispatched Gerwyn Price in the opening round before winning the Final. Smith followed that victory by being eliminated in the semi-finals and quarter-finals in his next two weeks. On Night Six, Smith returned to the finals, only to be eliminated by Van Gerwen.
Smith has been among the most consistent players since winning the PDC World Championship. He faces Chris Dobey in the quarter-finals on Night Seven, Dobey is in seventh place with five points.
Gerwyn Price

He then defeated Nathan Aspinall in the finals on Night Two. Since then, Price has finished in the quarter-finals three times and as the b once. His other appearance in the finals came on Night Four, where Van Gerwen defeated him.
Price is in fourth place in the standings with eight points. He opens Night Seven against sixth-place Jonny Clayton.
