🗣️ “I just turn up and have a game of darts, I want to play!” Gary Anderson gives his reaction after returning to darts and getting back to winning ways at Players Championship 22!
Gary Anderson: "I just turn up and have a game of darts, if I get beat it's not the end of the world"

Gary Anderson had not played in almost two months but sealed a third ranking title of the season at Players Championship 22 defeating Connor Scutt 8-4 in the final.
Anderson landed five ton plus averages to claim his third PDC ranking title of the year. He has been playing exhibitions instead of ranking action and admitted himself that he will head out to Ireland for more this weekend.
But 'The Flying Scotsman' as ever is carefree. He lauded Scutt but said that he was merely there to see Ian White and that he doesn't care if he wins or loses despite of course sealing yet another title. Always an ominous sign for Anderson.
With many majors to come, the signs are always ominous for Anderson to potentially collect more titles including on Wednesday at Players Championship 23 that he jested he might not play due to a bad knee then said he would.
"I’ve surprised myself,” said Anderson. "My second game was a struggle, but I played well against Mike [De Decker] and Wadey in the semi-finals. “Young Connor is a cracking dart player. He missed the 170 three times and wired double 18 for the 147. He’s not even got his Tour Card yet, so he’ll be one to watch.”
“I just turn up and have a game of darts,” continued the 53-year-old. “I’ve been busy doing other things recently but have been away playing in a few exhibitions. I have played against many youngsters, and the next six years or so will be eye-opening!
"I just turn up and have a game of darts, if I get beat it's not the end of the world. I get to go home early. “I’m at that stage now where there is no pressure on me, but when you come here, you want to play, you want to perform.”

- 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
