Absolutely gutted to lose that. It was a good game, I missed a few chances and Jonny took them. Credit to @JonnyClay9 who played a phenomenal game and good luck to him in the final as he’s a great guy. Thank you for all the support this week 💚💚
Van Gerwen after losing to eventual Premier League champion Clayton: “I'm on my way back now but there's still hard work to do”

Michael van Gerwen couldn’t claim a sixth Premier League Darts title losing to eventual champion, Jonny Clayton with a first semi-final loss in the tournament for the Green Machine.
After claiming the scalp of Mighty Mike, Clayton went on to win the title and post match, he earmarked consistency as the reason why he lost out but that on his route back to the top, he is not there just yet.
"This one is on my chin," he said to RTL7. "I'm on my way back now but there's still hard work to do.
"Jonny played really great. I wasn't consistent enough, he punished me at the right moments. I shouldn't have put him in that position - I gave him the confidence and a great feeling."

- 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
