Michael van Gerwen’s title defence at the World Series of Darts Finals ends in the first round as he is beaten 6-5 by Daryl Gurney.
The match takes place in Amsterdam, with van Gerwen entering the tournament as the defending champion. Multiple outlets report the same decisive scoreline of 6-5, indicating a closely contested encounter in the opening round. While the coverage is brief, the shared focus is on van Gerwen’s early exit rather than any later-stage results or broader tournament developments.
Across the sources, the core details remain consistent: van Gerwen is eliminated, Gurney advances, and the defeat comes at the first hurdle of the finals event. The differences are mainly in wording and emphasis rather than in reported facts or figures.
