Peter Wright was the previous champion, after defeating Ryan Searle 11âÂÂ10 in the 2021 final. However, he did not defend his title after withdrawing for family reasons.
Michael van Gerwen won the tournament for a seventh time, defeating Rob Cross 11âÂÂ6 in the final, hitting the tournament's only nine-dart finish and a 170 checkout in the final.
