Gerwyn Price just the second player ever to win 10 Euro Tour titles: only Michael van Gerwen has more
PDCWednesday, 22 April 2026 at 12:00
Gerwyn Price reached a milestone on Sunday in his successful career. By winning the European Darts Grand Prix 2026 in Sindelfingen, the former world champion became only the second player ever to claim at least ten European Tour titles. Only Michael van Gerwen has done better.

Price defeated Ross Smith in the final, adding his tenth triumph on the European circuit. That puts him on a shortlist that otherwise features only Van Gerwen, who remains the record holder by a distance with 38 titles.
Price’s first Euro Tour title dates back to 2018, when he won the 2018 International Darts Open in Riesa. Since then, the Welshman has continued to thrive year after year on the European stage. In 2019 he successfully defended his title in Riesa, before adding the Belgian Darts Championship to his résumé in 2020.
Price downplays his own record
Afterwards, Price looked back on his new milestone with humor. “I’ve been in the PDC for 12 years now - so less than one a year on average isn’t very good!” the Welshman joked.
He immediately admitted, though, how important this title feels to him. “I’m glad I’ve won this one and hopefully it gives me a bit of confidence for the period ahead.”
According to Price, the issue lately has mainly been closing out tournaments. “Thankfully I won this one, and hopefully it will give me a bit of confidence going forward.”

Another notable shift is Price’s growing popularity on the continent. Where he used to encounter regular resistance, support from the stands is increasingly common. “I never used to have this support, but I’m cherishing every moment I get on stage - it’s brilliant for me and may it continue!”
Impressive numbers
Price’s Euro Tour numbers underline just how successful he has been. Of the thirteen finals he has played, he has won ten. He has also reached the semi-finals nineteen times, converting thirteen of those into a place in the final.
Since his first title in September 2018, Van Gerwen has won only one more Euro Tour event than Price: eleven to ten. Behind that duo, Luke Humphries follows with nine titles.
The fact that Price, at 41, is still competing for major honors says a lot about his consistency. The Welshman has now been firmly inside the world’s top sixteen for more than eight consecutive years.

- I hope Phil doesn't return. Watching him the seniors was embarrassing,and he should bow out,and let everyone remember what a legend he is.rick6716-09-2026
- What a nice comment by Wade. Top bloke.BandB15-09-2026
- He wasn't "offered £501,000 to face Luke Littler". He was allowed to audition for the chance. That's not the same. Literally like saying I was offered a no.1 single, when actually I decided not to attend an open casting for the X factor.BandB13-09-2026
- I loved Jan and loved his walk on music "Explode" by Jordan & Baker. I think if he stuck around the BDO he definitely would have been World Champion, should have won in 2014, he never really showed any of his talent in the PDC. I remembered he worked in a bank or in finance and maybe that was his priority, he was also a fan and interested in magic. Definitely should have achieved much more in darts than he did. Wherever you are nowadays Jan, hope all is well and I was always a fan.richieburnettrocks11-09-2026
- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026
- Need to see her take part in the womens tour. She'll break the inernet.medinabello08-09-2026
- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
