CHAOS as DARTS star, Gerwyn Price opens new year with pro Darts Retirement decision after Bahrain Darts Masters final defeat.❌

The final of the Bahrain Darts Masters was completed in Sakhir on Friday night. Stephen Bunting defeated Gerwyn Price 8-4 to win the first tournament of the World Series of Darts 2025. However, despite his defeat in the final, Price can also look back on this tournament with positive feelings.

Price impressed throughout the tournament, but came up against an unleashed Bunting in the final.  

“Stephen has been playing fantastic darts in the last 12 to 18 months,” reflected Price. “I missed a couple of opportunities and Stephen took out some big checkouts which obviously put me under pressure.

“I was always chasing the game, but the Premier League is just around the corner, so I think I’ll get him back!”

Price defeated Luke Littler 6-2 in the quarterfinals, averaging 115.31, no one ever did better at this tournament. So after a lesser 2024, Price seems poised to return to his best form this year.

“I know my game is going in the right direction. I am getting back to my best,” declared the 2021 World Champion. “I am practising well, but sometimes you get up on stage and it doesn’t happen, and that was the case in the final.

“People can write us off, but I always come back fighting stronger than ever. It’s nice to make another final, but I wanted that trophy. I’ve lost in the semi-finals, I’ve lost in the final twice, but I will get it next time!”
