Gerwyn Stephen Price (born 7 March 1985) is a Welsh professional darts player and former professional rugby union and rugby league player. He competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events, where he is ranked world number twelve; he was ranked world number one on three occasions from 2021 to 2022. Nicknamed " the Iceman", he won the PDC World Championship in 2021.
Price broke into the top 32 on the PDC Order of Merit in 2016 and soon afterwards won his first Pro Tour title. He finished as runner-up in his first major final at the 2017 UK Open before winning his first major title at the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts, a tournament he would win again a year later in 2019. Price defeated Gary Anderson in the 2021 final to become the first Welsh PDC World Champion. He has won seven PDC major titles, including three Grand Slam titles, the 2020 World Grand Prix, and the World Series Finals on two occasions. He has won two PDC World Cups representing Wales alongside Jonny Clayton. Price has won seven PDC major singles titles, placing him eighth in the all-time list. Price has won a total of 43 PDC titles in his professional career, including nine European Tour titles.
Price has also played rugby union for Welsh Premier Division sides Neath RFC and Cross Keys, Pro12 with Glasgow Warriors and rugby league with South Wales Scorpions.
Price qualified for the European Darts Trophy in Leipzig during mid September. There, he beat Bernd Roith 6–3 in the first round to face Steve Beaton in the second round. Thanks to a great performance, which included the tournament's highest finish of 167, he saw off Beaton 6–3 and won against Vincent van der Voort in the following round. He nearly qualified for the 2014 World Grand Prix, for which a place in the semi-finals was needed, but was beaten 6–3 in the quarter-finals by Andy Hamilton. Price's impressive start to his darting career continued by reaching his first semi-final at the 19th Players Championship where he lost 6–3 to Ian White.
Price was knocked out of the preliminary round of the 2015 UK Open 5–2 by Matt Padgett. On his way to his first quarter-final of the year, Price eliminated Adrian Lewis 6–4 with an average of 105.78 at the second Players Championship event, but he went on to lose 6–2 to James Wade. At the Gibraltar Darts Trophy, Price defeated two top 16 players in Robert Thornton and Simon Whitlock to play in his second career European Tour quarter-final, where compatriot Jamie Lewis narrowly won 6–5. In total during the first half of 2015 Price lost in four quarter-finals on the Pro Tour, and reached the semi-finals of the eighth Players Championship where he lost 6–4 to Adrian Lewis. These results sealed his qualification for the World Matchplay through the Pro Tour Order of Merit, with Price seeing off Michael Smith 10–4 in his debut in the event. He then produced the performance of his career to date as he defeated two-time world champion Lewis 13–10, but could only average 88.17 in his first major quarter-final during a 16–7 defeat by Peter Wright. Price met Smith again in the first round of the World Grand Prix with the tie going to a deciding set in which Price established a 2–0 leg lead. He would miss two match darts as Smith levelled and in the final leg Price was unable to score a point as he missed a total of 15 darts at doubles in the double-start event. He led Ian White 9–8 in the second round of the Players Championship Finals, but went on to lose 10–9.
Victories over Finland, Ireland and Russia helped Price and Mark Webster into the semi-finals of the World Cup of Darts. A pair of 4–2 wins over the Belgian team of Kim Huybrechts and Ronny Huybrechts saw them play in the final, where their only point came courtesy of a Webster win over Raymond van Barneveld as they went down 3–1 to the Dutch.
Following good performances over 2017 Price was selected as a wildcard for the 2018 Premier League Darts tournament. Despite good draws against world number 2 Peter Wright and 2017 World Grand Prix winner Daryl Gurney, Price failed to register a victory and was eliminated on week nine's judgement night at the Echo Arena Liverpool.
Price started to show some consistency in the televised majors in 2018, reaching the quarter-finals of the Masters, UK Open, World Grand Prix and European Championship. He also won a European Tour event in September, the International Darts Open in Germany, just 2 months after having an operation to repair a broken achilles heel. In November, Price, as a 40/1 outsider at the start of the event, won his first televised PDC major by winning the Grand Slam of Darts, with come from behind wins against Simon Whitlock in the quarter-finals and surviving match darts to win 16–15, against Mensur Suljović 16–12 in the semi-finals, and against Gary Anderson 16–13 in a highly controversial final that was marked by a confrontation between the two players. With his Grand Slam of Darts victory, Price was the first Welshman to win a PDC televised major.
Gerwyn's second Premier League Darts campaign saw him just miss out on a play-off spot, as he finished 5th.
In October 2019, Price reached the final of the European Championship beating Ted Evetts, Nathan Aspinall, Vincent van der Voort and Michael Smith on the way. However, he lost the final to Rob Cross 11–6.
In November 2019, Price successfully defended his Grand Slam of Darts title beating Peter Wright 16–6 in the final after defeating Gary Anderson in the quarter-final and recording his first career win over Michael van Gerwen in the semi-final. Price then reached the final of the Players Championship Finals, where he was the top seed due to his performances on the Pro Tour. He was narrowly beaten 11–9 by Michael van Gerwen after missing four darts to take the match into a deciding leg.
In March Price reached the 2020 UK Open final, his second UK Open final, losing to Michael van Gerwen 11–9. Price won two televised titles for the first time in 2020; winning the World Series of Darts Finals with a win over Rob Cross and winning the World Grand Prix by beating Dirk van Duijvenbode 5–2 in the final.
In April, Price was ruled out of the Premier League due to testing positive for COVID-19. During the 2021 UK Open, Price made it to the semi-finals losing 11–6 in legs to eventual winner James Wade. Wade would also take Price's place in the Premier League following his positive COVID test. At the 2021 World Matchplay in July, he lost in the quarter-finals to Dimitri Van den Bergh. Price reached his first major final since the World Championship at the World Grand Prix which he lost to fellow Welshman Jonny Clayton 5–1 in sets.
In November 2021, Price won his third Grand Slam of Darts title by beating Peter Wright 16–8 in the final.
On night three of the Premier League in Belfast on 17 February, Price hit two nine-darters in the same night, achieving his first against Michael van Gerwen in the semi-final and then a second in his victory against James Wade in the final. Ten days later, he won his only European Tour title of the year at the International Darts Open. In June, Price and Welsh teammate Jonny Clayton reached the final of the World Cup of Darts, but they were beaten 3–1 by Australia. At the World Matchplay, Price made it to his first final at the tournament, hitting a nine-darter against Danny Noppert along the way. He lost the final 18–14 to Michael van Gerwen.
During the 2022 World Series of Darts, Price picked up a title at the New Zealand Masters, defeating Jonny Clayton 8–4 in the final. In September, he won his second World Series of Darts Finals with an 11–10 win in the final against Dirk van Duijvenbode.
Price bounced back following his world championship defeat by winning back-to-back European Tour titles at the European Darts Open and the International Darts Open. In the 2023 Premier League, Price ended the league phase with four night wins, topping the table and advancing to the play-offs for the first time. He beat Jonny Clayton 10–2 in the semi-finals but suffered defeat in the final, losing 11–5 to Michael van Gerwen.
In June, he won the World Cup of Darts for the second time with Jonny Clayton as Wales beat Scotland 10–2 in the final. In October, he reached the final of the World Grand Prix, but lost 5–2 to Luke Humphries.
On 1 February, the PDC announced that Price withdrew from the 2024 Masters due to family reasons. In a third-round match against Brendan Dolan at Players Championship 1, Price withdrew during the match, unhappy with the playing conditions. In April, he reached the final of the International Darts Open, but was unable to win the event for the fifth time as he was defeated 8–5 by Martin Schindler. During the Premier League, Price hit a nine-darter against Michael Smith on night ten. At the end of the league stage, he finished in seventh place. On 26 June, the PDC announced that Price had been ruled out of the 2024 PDC World Cup of Darts as he was dealing with health issues, meaning he was unable to defend the 2023 title he won with Jonny Clayton. In November, Price failed to qualify for the Grand Slam of Darts after being eliminated in the qualifier by Mickey Mansell, missing the event for the first time since 2015.
Despite a lack of good results throughout 2024, Price won two titles during the 2024 World Series of Darts. He won the Nordic Darts Masters by beating Rob Cross 8–5 in the final and followed that by beating Luke Littler 8–1 in the final of the Australian Darts Masters.
Price won the second Pro Tour event of the year, Players Championship 2 (PC2), by defeating Dobey in a deciding leg 8–7 in the final. He claimed another two titles at PC9 and PC12, beating Ian White and Josh Rock in the respective finals. He claimed his first Premier League nightly win of the year on night three in Dublin, beating world champion Luke Littler and world number one Luke Humphries before a 6–3 win against Nathan Aspinall in the final. He earned a second nightly win on night six with a 6–3 win against Littler in the final, extending his winning streak against Littler to six matches. He achieved his third nightly win of the season on night 12. He also hit two nine-dart finishes during his Premier League campaign; his first on night 10 made him the player with the most nine-darters in Premier League history, while his second came on night 15. He qualified for the play-offs by finishing fourth in the league stage table with 24 points. On Finals Night on 29 May, he lost 10–7 to Littler in the semi-finals.
After withdrawing from the previous year's tournament, Price represented Wales at the World Cup of Darts alongside Jonny Clayton and the duo reached the final, but they were narrowly defeated in the final 10–9 by Northern Ireland. Price won his fourth World Series title at the Poland Darts Masters, defeating Stephen Bunting 8–7 in the final. He claimed his first European Tour title in two years at the Baltic Sea Darts Open, where he won the final 8–3 against Gary Anderson. After a post-match incident with Daryl Gurney in the first round of the World Matchplay in which the two shared an aggressive handshake and exchanged words on stage, Price reached the quarter-finals of the tournament before losing 16–11 to Josh Rock. He won his fourth Players Championship title of the year at PC26 with an 8–5 victory over Gian van Veen in the final.
Price called out YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul to a fight after claiming he could knock Paul out with one single punch. Price revealed that Paul responded back to his callout, asking him to "name a price."
In 2010, Price was punched outside a pub in Bargoed, causing an injury which required 42 stitches to his forehead and five to his chin, as well as suffering a brain haemorrhage and nerve damage to an eyebrow. His attacker, Owen Body, received a 12-month jail term. Price also received a suspended jail sentence for assaulting Body on the same evening.
Following Price's controversial victory in the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts final, he spoke out about how his then-12-year-old daughter, Emily, had received online abuse on Twitter, in relation to his antics in the Grand Slam final. He called on his own followers to report the Internet troll, and said that he wanted the culprit "kicked off of Twitter".
Outside of darts, Price owns a fish and chip shop in Markham.
