SZAGANSKI WINS THE TITLE! 🇵🇱🏆 What a day for Polish darts as Radek Szaganski wins his first ever PDC title, producing an excellent display in the #PC27 final, defeating Connor Scutt 8-5! Wow 👏
"This could be life-changing" - First PDC title fuels Radek Szaganski's self-belief and gives hope of retaining Tour Card

Radek Szaganski achieved the greatest result of his darts career on Friday by taking the overall victory at Players Championship 27. After a surprising final, he defeated Connor Scutt 8-5.
It undoubtedly has to be one of the most remarkable PDC finals ever; between world ranking numbers 84 (Szaganski) and 77 (Connor Scutt). Both managed to eliminate a number of top players on their way to the final.
Szaganski consecutively defeated Jacques Labre (6-5), Dimitri van den Bergh (6-2), Jonny Clayton (6-4), Ryan Joyce (6-4), Maik Kuivenhoven (6-1) and Ricardo Pietreczko (7-3) on his way to the final, in which Scutt was thus also defeated.
“To be the best player in that room today, it means a lot,” Szaganski responded afterwards. ''When I won my Tour Card [in 2022], I thought I might get one good run, but I never expected to win a title."
Incidentally, Szaganski should not have made it past the first round, the Pole himself acknowledged. “To be honest, I shouldn’t be here because in my first game against Jacques, he missed four darts for the match, but this is darts. Sometimes you need luck, and that is what happened to me today."
He has now secured the right to be in action at the Players Championship Finals and the World Darts Championship later this year. ''This means a lot. There are no words to explain how I feel right now, but I am really happy. This could be life-changing.”

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
