Luke Humphries has claimed his second World Grand Prix title following a resilient performance in the final against Gerwyn Price. Despite a difficult start that saw him fall behind 3-0, Humphries managed to shift the momentum of the match, eventually securing a 6-4 victory.

Sky Sports pundit Wayne Mardle highlighted the significance of the win, noting that Humphries’ ability to recover from such a deficit demonstrates his high level of skill and mental fortitude. Mardle emphasized that Humphries has reached a stage in his career where he is capable of defeating any opponent regardless of the match situation or the starting position. The World Grand Prix is unique in the professional darts circuit due to its 'double-start' format, which requires players to hit a double to begin every leg, adding a layer of technical difficulty that Humphries successfully navigated throughout the tournament.
