One year on and Gurney is back to defend his title and for him he can’t believe it’s been a year since his win.
He also spoke about his opponent this time around John Henderson, who he beat in the semi-finals last year. ‘Superchin’ sees him as a big threat.
"I can't believe it's been a year since I won it," Gurney admitted.
"It was such a special night and a memory I will never forget but now I am focused only on the here and now, and that means defending my title.
"I know it will be a tough test against John, of course he beat Michael [van Gerwen] here in the first round last year but he also beat Raymond van Barneveld so he will be a big threat. Hopefully I will play my best game and get off to a good start."

- Comparing Van veen to Littler is a bit silly, there is 5 years between them, would you compare Luke to a 13 year old?mikedarts10-04-2026

- The PL is still mostly UK. It's the flights and delays that they don't like, made worse with more Brexit checks coming in recently.BandB08-04-2026
- I don't get this. I like Nathan,seems a nice bloke. Yet he's moaning about travelling,and the next thing, saying he missed the premier league? Well that's a lot of travelling saved! I keep saying scrap the premier league,but am I the only 1 who thinks it just causes a rift between the players? Scrap the thing,have a few tournaments for everyone instead,not just 8!!rick6707-04-2026
- Well,he doesn't want to play in Germany,and now he's letting things get to him. I appreciate he's a fantastic player,he's won loads,but perhaps he should perhaps learn to grow up a bit and realise whoever you are,you can't win every single match.rick6703-04-2026
- I'm afraid the physique of Mr littler is not that of an elite sportsman. Remember when he was on kebabs and burgers,and proudly announced it? He's still a great player thoughrick6726-03-2026
- Yeah it was exciting when it started back around 05. Now its just a punish every week. Take it up to 12 players, and bottom 2 drop out after everyone has played once. No need for finals etc every week. At that stage make it first to 7 instead of 6 to take up the timeslot.Cameron.W14-03-2026
- Honestly,who cares? This league should be scrapped. It's just a money spinner for PDC and sky. How on earth can 8 players do this every week,and leave the rest behind? It's a bit shameful really. Anyone can win against anyone,but not every week. Scrap itrick6712-03-2026
