Smith wins World Series of Darts Finals
England's Ross Smith shocks Wales' Gerwyn Price to win World Series of Darts Finals as Luke Littler's clean-sweep dream ends in last eight in Amsterdam.
In a surprising turn of events at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam, Ross Smith emerged victorious, defeating two-time former winner Gerwyn Price in a dramatic final-leg win. Smith, the world number 14, secured an 11-5 triumph over Price, ending the Welshman's attempt at a clean sweep of all major PDC titles in 2026.
Smith's victory came after a series of shocks at the tournament, including the unexpected elimination of world champion Luke Littler in the quarter-finals. Smith, who had suffered first-round exits in New Zealand and Australia, secured his major title with a barrage of 180s, hitting 11 maximums, compared to Price's five. Despite Price's strong performance, Smith's clinical finish, including back-to-back checkouts of 127 and 123, ultimately secured his well-deserved win.
The win marked Smith's second major title at this level of the PDC World Tour, following his victory at the European Championship in 2022.
