Michael van Gerwen came from behind to beat Luke Humphries in the final leg and claim the Nordic Darts Masters title in Denmark.<\/p>\n

Van Gerwen was the top seed for the event in Copenhagen and he edged past Viktor Tingstrom (6-5) in the quarter-finals and Jonny Clayton (7-4) in the semis to reach the final. <\/p>\n

Humphries, meanwhile, avenged his recent Premier League final defeat by Luke Littler<\/a> by beating the world champion 7-5 in the semi-finals with a match average of 105.<\/p>\n

That included a 132 finish, in which the Englishman hit the bullseye twice before landing double 16.<\/p>\n

The final then proved another high-quality contest, with Dutchman Van Gerwen winning 8-7 for his 18th PDC World Series title and second in 2026.<\/p>\n

World number two Humphries went 3-1 up before Van Gerwen, currently ranked fourth in the world, rattled off four straight legs to take the lead.<\/p>\n

The former world champions traded breaks of throw as the match went to a decider, in which Humphries just missed the bullseye to clinch victory.<\/p>\n

Van Gerwen then stepped up to finish off 72 on double top and become the first player to win the event twice since it started in 2021.<\/p>\n

“I think Luke let me get away with it because he had a chance to be 4-1 up,” said Van Gerwen. “Then you try to take advantage and luckily I did.<\/p>\n

“It is always nice to have a win behind your name again. That gives confidence and a good feeling because my performances early on in the rounds were not good.<\/p>\n

“But more importantly it was how I bounced back to keep grafting. That makes me win today and I am really pleased with that.”<\/p>\n

The World Series continues with the US Darts Masters at New York’s Madison Square Garden from 25-27 June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael van Gerwen came from behind to beat Luke Humphries in the final leg and claim the Nordic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":625354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-625353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
