Michael van Gerwen has been installed as 13/5 pre-tournament favourite to win the Cazoo World Darts Championship with the event's new official betting partner Ladbrokes.

The Dutchman has previously won darts' biggest tournament three times at Alexandra Palace, and has won five televised events during 2022.

Van Gerwen - victorious at the Players Championship Finals recently in the final ranking event before the World Championship - is 13/5 to take World Championship glory on January 3.

2021 World Champion Gerwyn Price is the 6/1 second favourite, while Grand Slam of Darts winner Michael Smith is at 15/2 and reigning World Champion Peter Wright is 11/1 to retain the title.

Shooting star Luke Humphries' rise to fifth on the PDC Order of Merit is marked with his status at 14/1, while newcomer Josh Rock is 16/1 ahead of his World Championship debut.

Ladbrokes have been unveiled as the official betting partner of the 2022/23 Cazoo World Darts Championship, with fans attending at Alexandra Palace able to visit their on-site shop in the Fans' Village.

"We thank Ladbrokes for their support of darts' biggest event and welcome them back to Alexandra Palace for this year's Cazoo World Darts Championship," said PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter.

"Ladbrokes have been a valued partner of the PDC's for many years through a range of sponsorships and this partnership will see their odds again available to fans attending the event as well as online."
