Overview
- Niko Springer, unseeded in Budapest, defeated Luke Humphries in the quarters and edged Josh Rock in a deciding-leg semi before topping Danny Noppert 8-7.
- Springer’s victory delivers a £30,000 payday and moves him up the rankings to about world No. 66, strengthening his case for next month’s World Grand Prix.
- Gerwyn Price withdrew on medical grounds in the quarter-finals, which sent Luke Littler directly into the last four via a bye.
- Danny Noppert ended Littler’s run 7-4 in the semi-finals to make the final, where he fell to Springer in another last-leg decider.
- The Hungarian Darts Trophy produced a fifth different champion in its fifth edition, with focus now shifting to the Swiss Darts Trophy in Basel and the approaching Grand Prix cutoff.
