Gerwyn Price: 'One World Championship isn’t enough' – Welsh star plans career shift to stay at the top

Gerwyn Price has hinted at a shift in priorities as he looks to extend his career at the top level, revealing plans to scale back his schedule in the coming years. While the Welshman isn’t contemplating retirement just yet, he’s ready to make selective cuts to preserve both form and longevity.

Price, who swapped rugby for the oche in 2014, has since become a cornerstone of the PDC elite. His career highlights include seven major titles — most notably the 2021 PDC World Darts Championship at the Alexandra Palace, a crowning moment in his darts journey.

Yet, despite a string of successes, a second world title remains elusive. Asked on talkSPORT whether he’d take a guaranteed second world crown if it meant retiring immediately afterwards, Price was unequivocal: "No, I’m sticking around for the next 10 years. I mean, one World Championship, it’s not good enough."

At 40, Price is entering a phase where smart scheduling may prove key to staying competitive. "I would never give up totally,” he said. “But the Pro Tours and Europeans, depending on how many it’s going to be at that time, because it’s getting more and more every year, but I’ll stop doing those. I would never give my Tour Card up. I’d still do events and if they invite me to the Premier League and World Series, I’ll still do them, but none of the lower events and just stop the travelling."

His comments mark a potential turning point in how top professionals manage their workload on an increasingly packed darts calendar.
