Ian White is determined to use victory at Players Championship 16 as a springboard for future success.
Stoke's number one powered to the title in Barnsley. White defeated Martin Schindler, Ted Evetts, Steve Lennon, Bradley Brooks, before a semi-final win over Steve Beaton. That set up a final against Darren Webster. The Diamond quickly established a 4-1 lead before rounding off a 6-3 success.
It marks White's second title of 2018, and victory marked a very positive step for the now five-time Players Championship winner.
“I’m delighted with the win and how I played overall today,” White told PDC TV.
The current world number 14 showed plenty of faith in his ability, even counting himself among the world's best floor players.
“I had a year without winning a title last year but I’m playing good darts all the time and I’d say I’m in the top five on the floor," he said.
“Now I need to replicate that form on TV, but the main thing for me is to keep enjoying it and playing well.”

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
