Players Championship: Luke Humphries beats Stephen Bunting for first title of 2024
Luke Humphries claimed his first Players Championship title of 2024 by beating Stephen Bunting in Wigan.
The PDC world champion, who won a maiden World Series title in August, fought back from 7-6 behind to win 8-7 as Bunting finished runner-up for a third successive night.
“This was important for me,” said Humphries, 29. “You go through spells where you’re playing fantastic darts, and then you go through spells where you can’t buy a win, and that can happen.
“I’m dedicated to this sport and I know I can push the levels higher and higher, but it’s important to gain a bit of confidence from somewhere.”
