Price entered the final trailing 2-0 and 3-1, but then raced to take the initiative with a 12-darter and two 11-darters for a 5-3 lead. Chisnall then missed a chance to connect at 5-4 before Price threw out 66 for 6-3. The Welshman then also threw out 60 and 105 for an 8-3 victory over 'Chizzy'.

For Price, it is his fourth Players Championship title of the season, having previously been the best at Players Championship 17, 18 and 21. Furthermore, the former world champion also won two Euro Tour tournaments in 2023.
