Michael van Gerwen ended a 16-month drought on the PDC European Tour with a sensational 8-7 win over Gian van Veen to claim the 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy title in Budapest on Sunday night.
The Dutch superstar had claimed his 36th European Tour win in May 2023 at the Belgian Darts Trophy, but extended his remarkable record in a thrilling decider at MVM Dome.
Van Veen was searching for his maiden senior PDC title, but the youngster was left to rue one missed match dart - at the bull - before Van Gerwen took the final's deciding leg with a 110 checkout.
Having also won a Players Championship on Wednesday, Van Gerwen - who also landed a nine-darter in Saturday's second round - has now scooped two titles in five days and £45,000 in prize money.

The tournament is being broadcast live on Viaplay, DAZN and PDCTV (excluding Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and through bookmakers' websites worldwide.
