Gerwyn Price has retained the Grand Slam of Darts title with victory over Peter Wright in an exceptional 16-6 victory in Wolverhampton.

Price averaged 107 in victory and hit 52 percent on the doubles; as he showed exactly why he is one of the best players in the world right now. He retains the Eric Bristow trophy in one of the best performances in a major final; which is up there with the record average which he nearly broke.
The first few legs were very much even and Price went into the break at 3-2 up; with Wright 23 points behind on the averages and potentially sinking first.
Price put himself in a 4-2 lead with an excellent 111 checkout; as he looked to build a real lead in the early going. Wright hit his second 180 but only for Price to hit an 84 checkout for 5-3. Price followed up a 174 setup with double 16 to extend it to 6-3.
Price went 7-3 up at the next interval; it was a 113 average, six 180's and 7/9 on the doubles. Wright ended up closing the gap to 4-7 and they from there kicked off the 12th leg with six perfect darts and Wright five but it was Wright who broke to go 5-7 behind.
Wright hits his fourth 180 but Price ended up hitting a 14 darter for a 9-5 lead and kept up his high average at 112. Price stretched his lead to 11-5 from there with a 110 average keeping his demon form. A break of throw from Price, a 177 and tops saw him continue that as he continued his crusade at 12-5 up.
Another break saw him go 14-5 up as he looked towards the finishing line. It ended up getting eight consecutive legs now for Price as he went to within one of retaining the title at 15-5, an absolute demon session from the Welshman as he romped towards a second consecutive Grand Slam title.
Price had match darts but they went and Wright ended up picking up the pieces to go 15-6 behind. He finally finished it off with a double five to really silence the critics.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
