A night of authority, big moments and relentless execution. Jonny Clayton took control in Rotterdam to secure back-to-back nightly wins and stretch his lead at the top of the 2026 BetMGM Premier League table.
Performing with confidence and edge, the Welshman saw off Michael van Gerwen, Josh Rock and Luke Littler, making it four nightly wins in eleven weeks and moving clear on 29 points.
Clayton came out firing.
Up against Van Gerwen on home soil, he delivered a statement 6–2 win, capped by a huge 170 checkout that set the tone from the start.
He backed it up in the semi-finals.
Facing Rock’s heavy scoring — including seven 180s — Clayton stayed locked in, handled the pressure and edged a deciding-leg battle to reach yet another final.
Then came the test.
After falling 2–0 behind to Littler, Clayton responded instantly, reeling off three straight legs to take control. A clutch 78 finish at a key moment stopped Littler’s charge, before Clayton punished missed chances to close out a 6–4 win.
Another night where it mattered most — and Clayton delivered.
