World Grand Prix Darts 2026: Round-by-round results and highlights as Luke Humphries beats Gerwyn Price to Leicester title - Sky Sports

Luke Humphries secured a second World Grand Prix title after producing an extraordinary comeback to defeat Gerwyn Price 6-4 in a thrilling final. Humphries, the first player in history to reach the final four years running, rallied from 3-0 down to reel off six of the next seven sets at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester and claim a first major title of the year. The former world champion posted a 93.16 average and fired 10 maximums in a topsy-turvy contest, where Price had early control before Humphries landed a 105 finish in a deciding leg of the fourth set to avoid falling further behind.

Humphries made a statement this week in Leicester.

World number two Luke Humphries ended a 16-month wait for a PDC major trophy with a stunning 6-4 victory over Gerwyn Price in the World Grand Prix final. Humphries, 31, was at the top of the sport two years ago but has found his dominance superseded by Luke Littler and had failed to taste major success since winning the Premier League in May 2025. A ranking title had eluded him since claiming the Masters in February last year, but he showed his class and an abundance of character to lift the title at the unique 'double-in, double-out' tournament in Leicester. The second seed, who was in a record-breaking fourth successive World Grand Prix final, trailed Price 3-0 but won four sets on the spin to take control. Price levelled but Humphries broke in the deciding leg of set five and then won three straight legs to be crowned champion. It is his second World Grand Prix title, adding to his 2023 success that started his march to becoming world number one. The victory ensures he retains his number two ranking from the Netherlands' Gian van Veen. "It's kind of like I needed this to give me a bit of confidence," Humphries told Sky Sports.

Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
