No title, but three times in the top five for highest averages: Gerwyn Price’s impressive numbers broken down
PDCWednesday, 11 February 2026 at 08:00
The title at the second Players Championship of the season went to Wessel Nijman. The 25-year-old Dutchman edged Welshman Gerwyn Price 8-7 in the final in Hildesheim. The standard was exceptionally high all day across several players, which is reflected in the list of top averages.
For Nijman, it was already the fourth Players Championship title of his career. Nijman, however, does not feature in the day’s top five averages. One player who does is Gerwyn Price. “The Iceman” maintained a sensational level throughout the day.
With averages of 117.12 (in his 6-0 quarterfinal win over Michael van Gerwen), 111.14 (in his 6-4 last-16 victory against Luke Woodhouse) and 107.41 (in the final against Nijman), Price appears no fewer than three times in the top five.
Alongside Price’s trio, Gabriel Clemens also features in the top five. With a 108.18 average in his 6-3 last-32 win over Madars Razma, the German ranks third on the Players Championship 2 top averages list.
Wessel Nijman won Players Championship 2 by beating Gerwyn Price 8-7 in the final.
In fifth place on the averages list, Kevin Doets is the top Dutchman. Doets defeated Max Hopp 6-4 in the second round and posted a 106.71 average in that match.
The Players Championship continues next week in Wigan. Tournaments three and four are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

- He's a nice bloke. He's sort of portrayed as a villain,but he isn't. He plays with heart. Sure he's had issues with the crowd,who are mostly in drink,and some players,but which player hasn't? Littler will have to get used to booing,the crowds always get fed up with consistency. However,Humphries won't have that problem,he's a top bloke too,humble.rick6708-02-2026
- So vdv knows something we don't,but says it's not for him to say what's wrong with mvg? So why say anything at all? If mvg wants us to know anything,he will say. All vdv has done is caused unnecessary speculation,which I'm sure mvg doesn't either want or needrick6704-02-2026

- This dozy wooden air head doesn't have a clue about darts and is more concerned about what to wear. Ultimately, SKY continually make it the Lego head show.richieburnettrocks28-01-2026
- More Challenge Tour guys have made the final round than top 16 seeds - Tweddell, Waites and Hall Vs Ratajski and Nijman. Further evidence that we need to stop protecting the guys coasting in the 20s and 30s in the rankings. PS Respect to Beau on her first day, some great wins and averages and the hardest £1k she'll ever earn as a pro!Scoobedybop28-01-2026
- Mesmerising words from the greatest darts player and World Champion and Masters Champion. Richie is such an interesting character and so charismatic. Such a shame Richie can't remember every moment as it would be absolutely fascinating to hear these stories and share those memories. The complete opposite of today's charisma vacuums Richie Burnett absolutely rocks!!!richieburnettrocks27-01-2026
