Gerwyn Price Announces Retirement from Darts

Gerwyn Price, the former world champion, has confirmed he will not be retiring from darts despite a challenging season where he failed to qualify for the Grand Slam of Darts and finished near the bottom in the Premier League. In a heartfelt Instagram post to his 305,000 followers, Price expressed his realization that his life revolves around darts and without it, he feels a void. This declaration comes amid speculations from darts pundits, including Dennis Priestley, who suggested that Price might consider retirement due to his struggles and the need to fight for wins in early tournament rounds. Price's recent performance includes being knocked out by Mickey Mansell in qualifiers, highlighting a year where he did not reach the finals of any televised events. Despite these setbacks, Price's statement emphasizes his commitment to the sport and his determination to continue competing. His next challenge will be at the Players Championship against Thibault Tricole.
