Before this change, Price was often seen as the pantomime villain of darts—his bold personality and on-stage antics frequently drew jeers from the crowd. However, the tide has turned. Fans now seem to embrace him, cheering his every move.

What catalyzed this shift? A decisive moment came when Price secured two points after defeating Stephen Bunting in the quarter-finals of the Premier League Darts. Currently, he holds 21 points in the standings, keeping him firmly in contention for a play-off spot.

Key facts:

• Price intends to compete at the UK Open Pool Championship from May 26-31.
• The championship will feature 256 competitors from over 50 countries with a prize fund of £167,500.
• Despite potential clashes with the Premier League Darts Play-Offs on May 28, he remains committed to both events.
• Last year’s UK Open Pool Championship was won by Aloysius Yapp.

Experts note that where once he embraced the role of the villain, he now appears to be building a very different connection with the crowd. “I can’t believe the support I’m getting every week,” Price remarked, highlighting this unexpected turn.

This newfound admiration may also stem from his experience at last year’s Mosconi Cup, where he showcased his skills in pool. As he prepares for his next match against Jonny Clayton on May 7, fans are left wondering—can this momentum carry him through both tournaments?
