Luke Humphries has won the 2026 World Grand Prix title at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester, defeating Gerwyn Price 6-4 in a dramatic final. Price initially dominated the match, recording both a 12-darter and a 10-darter to secure the first set with an average exceeding 132. Price’s first-set average of 132.62 was noted as the highest in the tournament's history. However, Humphries, referred to as ‘Cool Hand Luke’, staged a significant comeback. After falling behind 3-0, Humphries won six of the next seven sets to lead the match. Although Price managed to level the score at 4-4, Humphries secured the championship by winning the deciding set. This victory marks Humphries’ second World Grand Prix trophy and his ninth major title, earning him £150,000. The win also returns him to second place in the PDC Order of Merit and makes him the first player in tournament history to reach four consecutive World Grand Prix finals.
