Michael van Gerwen crowns himself Players Championship Finals champion for the sixth time. The number one of the world defeats Mervyn King in a stunning final. The Englishman shows his class in the final and produces three 100+ finishes. Van Gerwen produces four 100+ finishes, including a 160 checkout. A deciding leg is required to point out a winner. MVG is the first player to hit the double and wins: 11-10.

Van Gerwen starts his campaign with an easy win against Darius Labanauskas. The Dutch ace faces Jonny Clayton (6-4) and compatriot Jeffrey de Zwaan (10-7) on Saturday. MVG shows his class in the quarterfinal against Dirk van Duijvenbode. The three-time world champion averages 110 and sends Van Duijvenbode packing. Van Gerwen defeats Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals. The Iceman leads 8-6, but Van Gerwen manages to win five legs on the spin to win 11-8. 

Englishman Mervyn King starts with a win against Dave Chisnall: 6-3. The veteran defeats Dutchman Danny Noppert (6-1) and the Czech Karel Sedlacek (10-5) without too much effort on Saturday. King faces Damon Heta in the quarterfinal. Heta leads 7-2 halfway, but the Englishman battles back and manages to equal the score: 8-8. The King produces a 104 checkout to take the leg of his opponent and secures a 10-8 victory. The veteran meets world champion Peter Wright in the semi-final. The Scotsman does not feel fell and is not able to produce some proper darts. King beats Wright 11-4.
