Ross Smith has claimed the World Series of Darts title following a dominant 11-5 victory over Gerwyn Price in the final match. Smith’s performance was the highlight of the tournament, which concluded with a decisive win that prevented Price from securing the trophy.

The event was marked by a significant upset earlier in the bracket involving Luke Littler. Littler, who had been aiming to complete a clean sweep of all major Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) titles throughout the 2026 season, was defeated in the quarter-finals. This loss effectively ended his bid for a historic undefeated year in major competition.

While the final match between Smith and Price was straightforward in its outcome, the tournament as a whole was defined by the shift in momentum caused by Littler’s early exit. Analysts noted that the departure of the tournament favorite opened the path for Smith to capitalize on his form and secure the championship title.
