And that resulted in failing to book his place in the quarter-finals in Milton Keynes.
But he stunned reporters when he conceded that he does not tune into darts coverage when he is away from the oche.
When asked whether he got an invite to star in last month’s , Anderson said: “I don’t watch darts, honestly.
“I don’t give two monkeys, no. I’ve not got a clue. Is it more than an hour in a plane? There’s your answer then.”
Anderson’s shock admission means he completely switched off from darts following in the World Championship semi-finals.
And he will not be hanging around to see who will seal glory in Milton Keynes.
The world No6 reckons changes need to be made to the PDC calendar to avoid the biggest stars suffering from burnout.
The jam-packed schedule played a role in deciding he was not interested in a return to the Premier League.
He added: “I made a big song and dance about it, but I’m too old for that.
“I’ve looked at the schedule now, even without doing the . It’s hectic, it’s bad.
“I mean, you do one in Poland, you’ve got to get back from Poland on the Monday, you’ve got to get to Leicester or Milton Keynes, wherever that is. It’s too much.
“To get from Poland to Leicester or Milton Keynes or wherever, it’s an absolute nightmare. Just jam it in. Seven days.
“If people are moaning about it, ‘well I don’t want to do seven days’, then don’t do seven days. That’s entirely up to you.”
