LEAKED: GIAN VAN VEEN’S TACTICAL PLAN TO OUTSCORE LITTLER IN A 13-SET THRILLER REVEALED
Defending champion Luke Littler faces Gian van Veen in a historic 2026 World Darts Final. Read the latest stats and player quotes.
Gian van Veen is ready to bring his best game to the PDC World Darts Championship final. He’s feeling sure he can win the Sid Waddell Trophy.
The tenth-ranked, 23-year-old from the Netherlands had a fantastic semi-final match with Gary Anderson. This win puts him up against Luke Littler, the current champion, in what should be a great final.
After beating Luke Humphries in the quarter-finals, Van Veen started strong against Anderson, taking a 3-1 lead.
The crowd at Alexandra Palace saw an amazing fifth set. Anderson hit a 10-darter and a Big Fish checkout, but Van Veen came back from being down two legs to win three straight, getting closer to victory.
Van Veen kept the pressure on, winning 6-3 to reach his first World Championship final.
Now, the world youth champion faces a tough match against 18-year-old Littler, who had an easy 6-1 win over Ryan Searle with an average score of 105.35.
Littler lost the first set to Searle but hopes to be the first player to win back-to-back world titles since Anderson did it ten years ago. Only four players have ever achieved this.
"It feels amazing," Van Veen said about reaching the final.
When I was a kid, I didn't even dream about being in a final. My first dream was just to be in a World Championship.
But here I am, and it feels incredible. I keep telling everyone I'm still pinching myself. And since I’m still in the tournament, I’m not going to stop.
Van Veen seemed annoyed by the crowd at times during the semi-final. Anderson is very popular at Ally Pally, and the booing and jeering were clear during the live broadcast. Some viewers felt it went too far.
Van Veen admitted he was a bit frustrated but said, I enjoyed every second. Gary played great, especially in the fifth set with that 10-dart leg and then the 170.
But I still won that set, and it was a fantastic game. Gary played so well.
I got frustrated when the crowd got involved, but I’m so glad I still won, even with them against me.
But it’s fair because I’m a Gary Anderson fan too, so I can’t blame them for wanting him to win. I was just enjoying being on that stage.
When asked how confident he is about beating Littler, Van Veen said, Very confident. I’m playing so well in this tournament.
I think my lowest average was around 97 or 98, so I feel really good up there, especially with these longer matches.
Today was a long game, but I still averaged 103, and my checkout percentage was good.
It gives me a lot of confidence going into the final. I know Luke Littler is waiting, and everyone knows what he can do, so I need to bring my best game tomorrow, or it’s going to be very difficult.
About the possibility of another great match in the final, Van Veen said, Hopefully, that’s the plan!
If I play well, it’s not going to be an easy win. It will be close, and if I don’t play well, he’s going to beat me badly.
That’s what I’m thinking, so I hope I bring my A-game like I have been.
I’m confident I will, and then it’s going to be a great game.
Van Veen knows it will be tough and thinks he might just be keeping up with Littler, who he calls the better scorer.
It’s going to be very tough because he’s going to put you under pressure from the start, he said.
It might go to 13 sets, so it’s going to be hard.
But if I can keep up with my scoring, and my checkout percentage has been good all year, I hope I can take my chances and keep up with his scoring because he’s probably the better scorer.
So I just need to keep up and take my chances, and I’ll have a shot.
KENDRICK BOURNE REVEALS THE STRICT DISCIPLINE THAT SPARKED THE PATRIOTS' TURNAROUND
Kendrick Bourne speaks out! Discover why he thinks Mike Vrabel is the right fit and why he’s eyeing a 2026 return to the 49ers.
Kendrick Bourne’s path through the NFL has zigzagged all over – some highs, plenty of lows, and now, another fresh start. He took a shot with the Patriots in 2025 after building his reputation with the 49ers. But honestly, that New England chapter ended before it even got going. Bourne didn’t just slip out the back door. He left with a lot to say about what he saw brewing in New England as Mike Vrabel took charge.
Once Vrabel arrived, you didn’t need to listen for rumours about a culture shift; it was obvious. Bourne noticed right away. He’s already got his eyes set on home, back with the 49ers, but even from a distance, he could see the Patriots were heading somewhere new long before their record showed it.
Talking about his exit from New England, Bourne didn’t sugarcoat anything. Losing the job itself wasn’t the hardest part. What stung was watching Vrabel put his stamp on the team, laying down the kind of structure and discipline Bourne knew would eventually pay off. He was blunt; things just felt different under Vrabel compared to before.
He put it like this: “After going through OTAs and camp with Vrabes, you just knew. Nothing against Mayo, but he just wasn’t ready. With Vrabes, the structure was totally different in how we studied, how we met, and just the whole vibe. Honestly, I was sad about it.”
This wasn’t just a guy being bitter. Bourne respected what was happening in New England and genuinely wished he could have been part of it, especially with a Super Bowl push on the horizon. He even admitted he’d wanted to be in that locker room when the Patriots finally made it back to the big stage.
Now he’s back with the 49ers, hoping to stick around. At 30, Bourne wants a new contract in San Francisco. He had a solid 2025, racked up 551 yards, picked up a contract bonus, and gave the offence a spark. The 49ers needed reliable hands, and Bourne delivered. He’s clear: he wants to stay, but only if the deal makes sense for him.
So now, the offseason gets interesting. Bourne knows where he fits best, but he’s still keeping an eye on what’s building in New England. That mix of looking back and chasing what’s next makes this part of his career one to pay attention to.
MRI SCARE: STEVE KERR ADMITS STEPH CURRY’S "NEBULOUS" KNEE MAY REQUIRE SECOND IMAGING
Warriors crisis! Discover why Steph Curry may need another MRI and how Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear shifts GSW to the play-in.
The Warriors have been scrambling since Jimmy Butler went down with that ACL tear. He’s done for the year, and now Stephen Curry has to carry the offence on his own.
Right after the All-Star break, the Warriors are sitting in eighth place out West. That’s already shaky, and now Curry’s dealing with a knee injury too. The team calls it runner's knee; basically, he just needs time to heal. But then Steve Kerr gave an update that didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Turns out, Curry might need another MRI. He tried to push through a full workout, but his knee just wasn’t right. Now, they’re waiting on imaging to figure out how long he’ll actually be out.
Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis still hasn’t suited up for Golden State. If Curry misses significant time, everyone else needs to step up in a big way. The Warriors already have one of the most average offences in the league, 15th at the break. No curry, and things get ugly fast. He’s already missed 16 games this season, and the team went 6-10 without him.
Losing Butler already knocked the Warriors out of serious contention. They’re pretty much locked into the play-in. Unless Curry suddenly goes supernova, it’s hard to see them catching the Thunder or making any real noise out West.
So, what’s next? The front office tried to swing big at the deadline, going after Giannis Antetokounmpo, though who knows if the Bucks ever really considered it. Giannis stayed put, but you can bet the Warriors will chase him again this summer.
If that doesn’t work, they’ll turn to other stars. They know the championship window is closing with Curry still on the roster. He’s still elite, but time’s ticking.
LeBron James even comes up as a possibility. If he declines his player option and hits free agency, maybe he’d team up with Curry for one last run at a ring.
Most likely, though, Golden State will look at trades instead of free agents to try to reload. Curry’s health isn’t what it used to be, and the Warriors know they have to make the most of whatever prime he’s got left.
