Gurney spoke afterwards to the
PDC and admitted that it was a huge performance in his career after questioning whether he could still perform to the top level. "Around a year ago I was questioning whether I could still play at the top level, but that Players Championship Finals win showed I can still do it," said Gurney. "For that reason that performance was a huge one for my career and I hope I can add many more titles to my honours list and keep making [my son] young Daryl proud."
