PDC European Darts Trophy 2026: Wesselmania in Göttingen

The Mission prodigy arrived at the Lokhalle on Sunday morning and immediately delivered a devastating exhibition of tungsten excellence, repeatedly posting averages soaring comfortably above the ton mark. His remarkable surge through the final day culminated in victory over Gerwyn Price in the showpiece final, securing a richly deserved maiden European Tour title. Nijman made his intentions abundantly clear from the outset, romping to an emphatic triumph over his nation’s number one, Gian van Veen.

It was a breathtaking demonstration of ferocious power scoring combined with ruthlessly clinical finishing that left his compatriot momentarily bewildered. A staggering 112. 87 average was the explanation behind the devastation.

Into the evening session and the 25-year-old once again produced something approaching darting majesty, hammering in six maximums as he swept aside World Cup winner and Premier League player Josh Rock. The Göttingen faithful were almost treated to a moment of pure perfection when Nijman narrowly wired double twelve for a nine darter. Agonisingly close, but the ultimate prize still lay within his grasp.
