Dimitri van den Bergh claimed the World Matchplay title and among other accolades, he has become the first World Youth Champion ever to win a ranking TV title.
Van den Bergh is of course a two time World Youth Champion and as a result was imparted that brilliant statistic with Michael Smith in particular yet to win one.
He was originally the 7th player from continental Europe to reach a ranking final in the PDC; in victory became the 1st new continental winner of a ranking TV title since 2012 with Michael van Gerwen the last new winner.

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
