🎯 Gerwyn Price’s Unexpected Exit 🎯
Darts fans were in for a shock as Gerwyn “The Iceman” Price made an early exit from the PDC World Championship. In a surprise match, Price was defeated 3-0 by Wesley Plaisier, the world’s No. 92, at Alexandra Palace. Despite entering the tournament with high hopes, Price’s impressive 95.83 average and trio of 180s weren’t enough to hold off Plaisier’s on-target performance.
In an emotional Instagram post, the Welsh star expressed his disappointment but congratulated his opponent, wishing everyone left in the tournament good luck: “Absolutely gutted… Wesley was great at the right moments, but I was way off it. Good luck to him and everyone else, see you in 2026. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.”
For Plaisier, it’s a dream come true: “I still can’t believe it. My biggest victory ever… I thought I’d give him a hell of a match, but didn’t expect to win. Thank you to everyone who was here to make it even more special.”
With Price’s early exit marking his swiftest departure since 2019, he’s taking a well-deserved break before returning in January for the World Masters. Meanwhile, fellow Welshman David Davies faced a similar fate, bowing out 3-0 to reigning champion Luke Littler.
