Michael van Gerwen won his third World Matchplay title, defeating Gerwyn Price 18–14 in the final.[2][3]
Gerwyn Price hit the first nine-dart finish in the tournament for four years in his semi-final win over Danny Noppert.[4]
This tournament also had a separate women's event which took place on the day of the final of the main tournament and was won by Fallon Sherrock.[5]
