Gerwyn Price doubles Players Championship title tally, Luke Littler loses to resurgent finalist Ian White
PDC
Gerwyn Price wins his 19th Players Championship at event nine in Leicester on Monday afternoon. The Iceman was too much for Ian White, beating him 8-4 in the final.
White had an impressive resurgent run with 'Diamond' who used to clean up for fun on the ProTour and has long struggled nearly on the verge of losing his Tour Card. He defeated Luke Littler en route in Leicester.
The match started at an impressive level with 3 holds of throw all in five visits seeing Price lead 2-1, White with the darts. That's when the Iceman showed his class, checking out 140 to break in twelve darts and lead the match 3-1.
After that, the standard dropped but the direction of the match stayed in the Iceman's favour. White was unable to checkout 20, letting Price hold in 21 darts to lead 4-1. White held his throw in leg six with a crucial 126 checkout.
Price won the next two legs to lead 6-2, with White missing key doubles in both legs, before Price went one away from the title, winning leg nine with a 78 checkout to lead 7-2.
In leg ten, Price could not take out 61 in two visits, missing 5 darts for the match, before missing another match dart in leg eleven.
Price eventually won the match in leg twelve, breaking in 12 darts and checking out 91 for the title.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
