For Gerwyn’s priceyear 2025 PDC World Darts Championships ended in disappointment. The 39-year-old Welshman lost the lead 2-0 and ultimately lost to Liverpool 5-3 Chris Dobey in the quarterfinals at Alexandra Palace.
Price didn’t have a good 2024 and couldn’t start the new year on a positive note. As already mentioned, he started his quarter-final match against Dobey brilliantly, winning the first two sets, but then had to watch his English opponent win the next four to take a 4-2 lead. Price did win the seventh set, but unfortunately it didn’t mean a return to the field for the Welshman as ‘Hollywood’ secured a place in the semi-finals of the World Championship for the first time in his career.

But as it turns out, the medical excuse could be used as a potential excuse for Price. For example, he has been struggling with hearing problems for some time. “I feel like I’m in a pool full of water. It’s frustrating. I cover my ears and it’s fine. It’s a nightmare, I’m dizzy,” he said Daily record. “I have been taking antibiotics for a week and they are not working. I feel like I’m in a pool full of water. It’s frustrating. I cover my ears and it’s fine. Two minutes later I have to do it. It’s hard work again. I’ve had this problem for six, seven, eight years. Now I’m used to it.
Therefore, Price must urgently make an appointment with the doctor, although his busy career as a donor does not make this task easier. “I have an appointment with the ear, throat, and nose specialist, but he’s too busy, right?” The price says. “I miss many visits to the ENT doctor. You end up in a tournament here and there. I play darts.”
Thanks to the elimination, Price remains in ninth place in the PDC Order of Merit rankings, with only Dobey able to overtake him in this World Championships. Time will tell whether the Welshman will be invited to the Premier League Darts.
