Gerwyn Price Defends Weight Loss in Instagram Post, Heads to Players Championship Finals as No. 1 Seed

He says a six-month loss of about three stone has boosted his confidence.

Overview

  • Price shared before-and-after photos on Instagram with the caption, "Concerned about my weight loss? Well don’t be, I feel and look better than ever."
  • The post followed comments from Vincent van der Voort and Damian Vlottes, who argued he had gone too far and urged him to put weight back on.
  • Price says the change was gradual during a packed schedule and that he feels better mentally, noting he now wears medium shirts instead of XL.
  • Despite a 6-0 quarter-final defeat to Wessel Nijman at Players Championship 33, he finished atop the Players Championship Order of Merit to secure the No. 1 seeding for Minehead.
  • His season includes four Players Championship titles plus wins at the Baltic Sea Open and Poland Darts Masters, and he is scheduled to face Max Hopp on Friday, November 21.
