"He'll beat Phil Taylor's record": Gerwyn Price doesn't see Luke Littler being stopped despite six wins in a row over World Champion
PDCFriday, 14 March 2025 at 08:23
Gerwyn Price doesn't see anybody stopping the darting juggernaut that is Luke LIttler with 'The Iceman' equivocally clear that he sees the 16-time record going of Phil Taylor under his darting domination.

Price won Night Six in Nottingham of the Premier League Darts and continues to have Littler's number winning six times on the spin as it seems that 'The Iceman' can get into the head of the 18-year-old in a way others can't.
"It was more important for me to get that first win against Stephen (Bunting). I tried so hard, the crowd was a bit difficult today but it's nothing I haven't had in the past. I got through it, my adrenaline got me through it. I think the crowd actually got me through it as if they hadn't had got my heart beating and me getting the way I was, they actually got me through it even though they were a bit against me," said Price.
"Relax a bit against Michael van Gerwen, played a bit better. I really wanted to win that final obviously for points and to get a sixth win against Luke, I'm not sure how long that's going to lost as he's a brilliant player and I respect him massively. That's probably why I play good against him."
"I think he just falls a little bit against me, sometimes I do play really well against him like I did in Bahrain and a couple of times I played really well. Tonight I didn't so it was probably more in his head over the way I was playing but I hope that continues."
"I'm enjoying the game at the minute. Winning does breed confidence. But right from the start even though I lost the first game, I just kept positive. Exeter, Brighton, no points. Today I really wanted to. I'm positive that's why I'm playing so well."
But while that is the case, he only sees a freak occurrence of another Littler type phenom coming through to stop him. He said that in comparison to Van Gerwen and Taylor, he is different.

"I sit on a table with James Wade and Jim Williams at ProTours and I said I think he'll beat Phil Taylor's record unless it's somebody that comes in the new generation that's going to stop him. I think it's three or four players now that can beat him. But if those players go out of tournaments, he's winning. Everybody, like you say, everybody sort of falls apart against him. He is that good."
"Michael (van Gerwen) was good when he was young, Phil Taylor's brilliant but I think he's different."

- Don't worry Vinman, England will not be in the final.richieburnettrocks16-07-2026
- Ultimately, Vin man knew when to call it quits. Barney was excellent and one of the greatest darts player ever, but he just doesn't have that ability anymore. Vinman working in media is only saying what he thinks and I like how he doesn't sugar coat things and is completely honest and direct with his comments. Vinman will probably agree he wasn't really on the same level as Barney in their respective heydays.richieburnettrocks13-07-2026
- I agree that this season the format was a bit stale, it would be better to have some new faces rotated in through the season. I also think they should vary the format a bit as it doesn't count for rankings, they could have different varieties of 501 (e.g. double start) or just different challenges.mikedarts03-07-2026
- I don't really understand why its an issue that Littler doesn't play in the events, they are barely televised so there is no draw for marketing and it gives the other players a better chance to define their narratives. The events are more of a throw back to old events. I agree that the format should be looked at, I don't know why they don't do a more interesting format or vary it through the season to improve interestmikedarts03-07-2026
- This shows they have the prize money structure wrong then (and OoM as a result). Put more £ into the floor, less on the TV and you'll attract more players to attend more often.BandB03-07-2026
- He's admitted his mistakes. He won't be the first or last player to get sent down,or take drugs. I honestly didn't like the lad,but at least he's owning up to his issues. So,good luck. In whatever he decides to dorick6702-07-2026
- Not everyone wants to watch pub players throwing 70 averages for about £500. Premier League is indeed a cash cow, but it does its job of promoting the game. This new suggestion for changes is one of the better ones. Even better if everyone knew what they had to do to qualify and it isn't just a walk-on popularity contest.StraightArrowNoBull01-07-2026
- I have a suggestion,scrap the whole thing. It's a pointless cash cow for anyone in the top 10.rick6730-06-2026
- Well nobody made him bet!! It's his own fault,if wants to lose money,then he shouldn't call Gerwyn out! He averaged 103,I would think the losing betting idiot could average 40! If you don't want to risk losing,keep your money in your pocket!rick6728-06-2026
- A great female line up this year, it would be nice to see Gemma win, but Beau is too good. Although the most important lady is missing....Lorraine Winstanley! You can't have a major tournament with out Lorraine Winstanley!! My dream is to see Lorraine hit a nine darter, run off the stage and out of the building with Dean.richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
