Nicknamed "The Iceman", he competes in events of the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), where he is recognised as world champion, after winning the 2021 PDC World Darts Championship, to become the first ever Welshman to win the tournament.

He broke into the top 32 on the PDC Order of Merit in 2016 and soon afterwards won his first Pro Tour title. In 2017, he was the runner-up at the UK Open, Price's first major event final, and has also competed in the prestigious Premier League Darts tournament on three occasions, finishing 10th, 5th, and 5th, in 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. Price took his first major win in controversial fashion at the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts tournament. He retained the title at the 2019 tournament.
