Jamai Van den Herik was crowned the winner of the 2026 ADC Global Championship on Sunday, after defeating Neil Duff 9-5 in the final, with the International Tournament concluding at the Modus Live Lounge.
Van den Herik, who entered Sunday’s play having defeated South Africa’s Rudie Van Staden in the Last 32 during Saturday’s Afternoon Session, began the day with a tight 6-4 victory against Maxim Lemahieu to book his place in the Quarter Finals. In the Evening Session, the Dutchman went on to defeat Kevin Lankhuizen 7-5 before dominating England’s Lewis Cook 8-2 to seal a place in the final.
In the decider, Van den Herik came up against Neil Duff and nothing separated the pair in the opening six legs of the tie before Duff took the lead at the interval with a 16 darter to move 4-3 ahead in a race to nine. Van den Herik then went on to dominate the remainder of the final, as the young Dutchman won six of the following seven legs and sealed a 9-5 victory with a 54 checkout to win the title and £20,000 in prize money.
Duff’s run to the final saw the Former WDF World Champion record victories on the day against Raymond Mulvey (6-4), Dan Nicholls (7-1) and Callum Francis (8-6), before being denied by his Dutch opponent.
Action at the MODUS Live Lounge returns on Monday for the start of Double Trouble Week, as Day One of Group A takes place, with the field including Neil Duff as well as the likes of Archie Self, Derek Coulson, Robert Thornton, Steve West and Conan Whitehead. Play will begin at 9:30 GMT and all the action will be streamed live on the MODUS YouTube channel, Pluto TV or via various bookmaker’ websites worldwide.
