Stephen Bunting and
Chris Dobey will decide between themselves who takes the title at the 25th
Players Championship tournament. The final of this
Pro Tour tournament is later Wednesday night.
For Bunting, it is his second final in a row, after losing to Wessel Nijman in Tuesday's final. After wins over Danny van Trijp (6-4), Jamie Hughes (6-1), Jermaine Wattimena (6-3), Mike de Decker (6-4) and Connor Scutt (6-4), he won 7-4 over Andrew Gilding in the last four. For Bunting, it is his fifth PDC final of the season. Earlier this year, he did take the win at the Masters, but then Bunting did lose his three Players Championship finals.
Dobey is doing a lot better in that regard. 'Hollywood' will play his fifth Players Championship final of the season and won two of his four previous finals in 2024.
The Englishman won 7-1 over Daryl Gurney, having previously defeated Nathan Rafferty (6-4), William O'Connor (6-2), Gabriel Clemens (6-2), Jeffrey de Graaf (6-5) and Luke Littler (6-5).
A total of 125,000 pounds in prize money is distributed at each Players Championship tournament. The winner of the event will receive a check for 15,000 pounds.
