Jonny Clayton achieved a first time feat in winning the 2021 Premier League Darts with 'The Ferret' becoming the first player to win the title after finishing fourth in the regular league phase.
Clayton added to Mervyn King in 2009 and Adrian Lewis in 2011 as players who have won the semi-finals after finishing in that spot but neither won it from there.
Now the Welshman is the first and showed the close nature of this year's tournament that Clayton, the eventual winner nearly didn't make it to finals night.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
