MICHAEL VAN GERWEN is hoping for another big pay day as he goes for a fourth world title in the 2023\/24 PDC World Darts Championship.<\/p>\n

The Dutch legend, 34, is one of the most recognisable faces on the circuit, with the showpiece Ally Pally tournament now underway.<\/p>\n

What Surgery did Michael van Gerwen Need?<\/h2>\n

Ahead of this year's tournament, the Dutchman also revealed he needed major dental surgery – with more coming up once it ends.<\/p>\n

He said:\u201cI haven\u2019t even finished yet. I\u2019m not even halfway through.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll have an operation in which they\u2019re going to break my upper jaw and lower jaw. Put them right on each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen it\u2019s all about recovery. Two years more in a brace. Then I\u2019m about finished.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween the first operation this year and the second one, there has to be a minimum of one year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s because my upper jaw is a lot smaller than my lower jaw. My underbite is over a centimetre.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven a slice of ham, I cannot even bite properly. And because my upper jaw is too small also you get less oxygen through your nose.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat creates headaches. Less sleep. Things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

How much does the winner of the PDC World Darts Championship get?<\/h2>\n

Prize money for the 2023\/24 tournament is as follows:<\/p>\n
