Van Gerwen defeated fellow compatriot Raymond van Barneveld in the final; and spoke afterwards saying he was delighted to win the title.
“I’m delighted to win this title for the first time,” said Van Gerwen after his impressive victory.
“There have been a few tournaments since I have won and I know I don’t need to send any messages but sometimes it is nice to let everyone know who is boss.
“The standard of darts is getting better and better on this side of the world and it is important for the sport that it keeps growing,” added the 29-year-old.
