World champion opens up on his unusual path from professional rugby to the PDC and the difficulty of fans turning against him
Given his meteoric rise to the summit of world darts, you would forgive Gerwyn Price for allowing himself a moment to take stock and enjoy his newfound success. But the reigning PDC world darts champion is in no mood to put his feet up. He is instead intent on dominating the sport he only turned to seven years ago before enjoying an early retirement.
“I don’t think you’ll see me flogging myself on the tour once I get past 50 like some other players do,” he tells me. “So that gives me 14 years to do as much as I can in this game. But I have that hunger and desire to dominate the game like guys like Phil [Taylor] did. This is the start, not the end.”
