Players Championship Finals Semi-Final Tips

19:15 – Michael van Gerwen vs Gabriel Clemens: Van Gerwen To Win & Most 180s @ 27/25

Gabriel Clemens finds himself in another major semi-final after reaching the last four of the 2023 World Championship. The German demolished Niels Zonneveld 10-1 in the last-16 before beating Luke Woodhouse 10-7 in the quarter-finals.

It’s Michael van Gerwen who awaits him in the semis, who is having yet another incredible showing at this tournament. ‘Mighty Mike’ has already won the event seven times, and after smashing the record for the highest match average recorded in Players Championship Finals history (118.52), it’s going to take some doing to stop him from claiming an eighth.

You can back Van Gerwen to win the match and bag the most 180s at just over evens with BetMGM.

20:15 – Luke Humphries vs Ryan Joyce: Humphries Win, Most 180s & Highest Checkout @ 5/4

This is undoubtedly one of the biggest matches of Ryan Joyce’s career. After overcoming Damon Heta in the quarter-finals, Joyce is one match away from reaching his first PDC Major final. The problem? He has to beat the best player in the world right now, Luke Humphries.

The only slight doubt around Luke Humphries heading into this tournament was his mixed record in afternoon sessions. However, he seemed to have shrugged that ‘Achilles Heel’ off and has won all three of his afternoon matches fairly convincingly.

The Grand Slam champion always seems to save his best darts for the evening, which is why we can’t look past him against Ryan Joyce here. You can back him to win the match, hit the most 180s, and get the highest checkout at 8/11 with BetMGM.

2023 Players Championship Finals Semi-Final Double

You can combine both of our Players Championship Finals semi-final picks in a double with BetMGM, at odds of 18/5.

• Van Gerwen To Win & Most 180s @ 27/25
• Humphries Win, Most 180s & Highest Checkout @ 5/4
• Combined Double Odds: 18/5

2023 Players Championship Finals Outright Tip

If Luke Humphries can go all the way again, he will smash the record for the shortest gap between a player’s first and third PDC major singles titles.

Jonny Clayton currently holds the record with 251 days, but should ‘Cool Hand’ win his third consecutive major, he will have done so in a mere 49 days.

It’s hard to go against the grain when a player is in such dazzling form, even when they could be up against the record seven-time Players Championship Finals winner, Michael van Gerwen. Like most, we’re backing the favourite, Luke Humphries, to lift the trophy.
