Michael van Gerwen made it three successive Players Championship titles with a dominant 11-2 victory over surprise finalist Jonny Clayton in Minehead.

The world number one, who beat Dave Chisnall in last year's final and Adrian Lewis in 2015, was too strong for Welshman Clayton who had shocked top seed Rob Cross in the semi-final but proved to be no barrier to Van Gerwen's fourth Players title in the last five years.

Monday's draw for the World Championship, which is live on Sky Sports News from around 6.30pm, will map out MvG's course for the defence of his world crown and he has moved into the sort of ominous form he displayed this time last year when he swept all before him on his way to a second Sid Waddell Trophy.
