Michael van Gerwen ended a 16-month drought on the PDC European Tour with a sensational 8-7 win over Gian van Veen to claim the 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy title in Budapest on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Dutch superstar had claimed his 36th European Tour win in May 2023 at the Belgian Darts Trophy, and extended his remarkable record in a thrilling decider at MVM Dome.<\/p>\n

Van Veen was searching for his maiden senior PDC title, but the youngster was left to rue one missed match dart – at the bull – before Van Gerwen took the final’s deciding leg with a 110 checkout.<\/p>\n

“This was really important – I had to battle really hard,” admitted Van Gerwen. “I was struggling in the final and Gian took advantage, but I was more battling with myself.<\/p>\n

“The crowd gave me so much energy and to give them something back, I’m over the moon.<\/p>\n

“I think I’m on the right way, especially with my new darts. I missed the winning feeling for a long time but now everything falls into place.<\/p>\n

“I want to win more and my love for the game is still there. I need to make sure I keep this momentum going.”<\/p>\n

Van Veen said: “I’m only 22 years old, and to push Michael van Gerwen this far in the final is an amazing feeling. Of course I’m disappointed.<\/p>\n

“I missed the match dart, the 118 on the bull, I think it was really close – but Michael’s 110 finish shows his class. He’s the deserved winner today and congratulations to him.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
