Gary Anderson misses three nine-darters in one day but still wins darts title


Gary Anderson produced some of the finest darts of his career on his way to winning the Players Championship 2 in Wigan on Tuesday evening. The Flying Scotsman was incredibly one shot away from a nine-dart finish on three separate occasions and recorded a career-best average as he opened his account in 2024.

Ryan Searle stormed to his second final in as many days after falling short against Luke Littler in a thrilling 8-7 showcase – despite averaging a sensational 111.7 – at Monday’s Players Championship 1.

But Anderson was at his best throughout the day and capped it off with an 8-5 victory in the final, averaging 101.14 to Searle’s 91.33.
