The penultimate match of the first round at the 2026 Australian Darts Masters will see Gerwyn Price facing Simon Whitlock on Friday morning. The Iceman is one of the favourites for the title in Wollongong, and our prediction is that he will secure a comfortable win in his opening match.
Gerwyn Price returns to one of his favourite events this weekend and is one of the favourites, having won this title in 2024 by beating Luke Littler 8-1 and reaching the quarter-final last year.
The Iceman is carrying momentum into the tournament too. He reached the final in New Zealand last week with wins over Mark Cleaver, Damon Heta and Raymond Smith before losing to Jonny Clayton.
Price has won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions, as well as each of his last seven encounters against his upcoming opponent.
Simon Whitlock is a veteran and a former World Championship finalist, but he lost his PDC card at the end of 2024 and now competes mainly through invitations and the Oceanic circuit.
His most recent title came at the 2025 ANZ Premier League. The Wizard fought back from an early deficit against Josh Rock in the first round last week in New Zealand but eventually lost 6-4.
Whitlock has won five of his last 10 matches, but all of those victories were in the Modus Super Series. He has not beaten Price in any competition since 2019.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Simon Whitlock Prediction
Simon Whitlock remains one of the most reliable and well-respected players in world darts, but given his age, he has struggled to keep up with the PDC’s elite and now competes mainly through invitations and the Oceanic circuit.
In contrast, Gerwyn Price is one of the best players in the world right now and has consistently performed Down Under, as we saw last week when he reached the final of the NZ Darts Masters. Therefore, our Gerwyn Price vs Simon Whitlock prediction is Gerwyn Price -2.5.
