2022 Betfred World Matchplay
Sunday July 24

Michael van Gerwen 18-14 Gerwyn Price
Michael van Gerwen produced a supreme display to defeat Gerwyn Price and clinch a third Betfred World Matchplay title on a scintillating Sunday night in Blackpool.

Van Gerwen recovered from a sluggish start to record a breath-taking 18-14 victory over the Welshman, reeling off the last five legs without reply to scoop the £200,000 top prize and the coveted Phil Taylor Trophy.

The Dutchman produced a late surge to defeat 2020 champion Dimitri Van den Bergh in the semi-finals, and he repeated the feat against Price to celebrate his first title at the Winter Gardens since 2016.

Van Gerwen looked poised to surpass Adrian Lewis' record-breaking maximum tally of 19 in the 2013 World Matchplay final at one stage, but a flurry of ton-plus checkouts in the closing stages catapulted him to a famous win
