White reflects after claiming Players Championship 8: "This title has been coming"

This changed on Sunday with White claiming the honours at Players Championship 8 brushing aside James Wade in the final to claim his first title on the ProTour since 2018 and a 13th of his career.

As a result, he was glad to finally get the rewards for his brilliant performances which have seen him not stray under a 105 average for most of the year and he spoke also about getting that breakthrough on TV.

"I've been playing good darts through the year but not been getting the luck, so this title has been coming," said White, who moves back up to tenth on the PDC Order of Merit.

"The form is coming on, I've had a few problems but I'm sorting myself out and everything is going well.

"A couple of weeks ago Peter Wright was hitting lots of 100-plus averages so that spurred me on to keep up with him.

"Everyone goes on about my TV form not being as good as my ProTour form but I play good darts on the TV stages, I've hit a few averages over 100.

"I've just run into top class players at their best a few times, I just think I've been unlucky.

"My heads on this year and I want to stay in that top ten."
