Gerwyn Price set to compete at UK Open Pool Championship from May 26-31 - clashing with Premier League Darts Play-Offs

Gerwyn Price is set to compete at the UK Open Pool Championship from May 26-31 - clashing with Premier League Darts Play-Offs night at London's O2 on May 28.

The 2023 Premier League runner-up has been handed a wild card to compete at the event held at the Brentwood Centre, including 256 competitors from more than 50 countries, and a bumper £167,500 prize fund.

'The Iceman' Price has experience of playing pool, having previously played at last year's Mosconi Cup, competing in an exhibition Pro-Am event at Alexandra Palace.

In a game with team-mate Milan Patel, the Iceman hit the winning shot against Ade Oladipo and Hugo Boyle before letting out his trademark scream.

Price has been dragged into the Premier League Darts Play-Off race after a sluggish few weeks, with the Markham ace failing to win three consecutive quarter-final matches and .

The darts star has previously played in the Welsh Premiership and briefly for United Rugby Championship side Glasgow Warriors.

Last year's UK Open Pool Championship was won by Singapore's Aloysius Yapp who defeated Jonas Souto 13-1 in the final in Telford.

The 2026 BetMGM Premier League season will continue at the P&J Live in Aberdeen.

Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen go head-to-head in a potentially pivotal clash in the race for a top four finish, while league leader Jonny Clayton renews his rivalry with Gian van Veen.

Elsewhere, Josh Rock and Luke Littler lock horns in the evening's opener, as Stephen Bunting and Gerwyn Price collide for a place in the semi-finals.

Ranking points are awarded per night - with five to the winner, three to the runner-up and two to the semi-finalists - to form the league table from which the top four players will progress to Finals Night at The O2 in London on Thursday May 28.
