Wessel Nijman @ 4.33<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nijman is enjoying a spectacular year and is deservedly the third favourite to claim one of the PDC\u2019s most prestigious prizes. The Dutchman has collected multiple ranking titles throughout 2026, and if he can carry his form from behind the curtain to the big stage, it may take something very special to stop him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3rd quarter winner &#8211; Luke Humphries @ 2.25<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Former world champion Humphries has been drawn in the same quarter as Price, while there are some other big hitters too in the form of Cross and Noppert, although those two clash in the first round. On his day, Cool Hand is a class above everyone else on the circuit bar Littler &#8211; and should have more than enough to reach the semi-finals here. Humphries won the recent US Masters in New York and collected the Matchplay title back in 2024, so a price slightly higher than evens looks fantastic value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tournament 170 checkouts &#8211; Over 4.5 @ 2.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 170-finish has become more commonplace in darts since Littler\u2019s emergence, with every top player seemingly looking to thrill the crowd by achieving the feat. So with 31 matches taking place throughout the tournament, backing one to be hit at a rough average of one per six games seems like a decent betting pick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports and markets.
