Price proved himself king of the oche as he downed rival Gary Anderson 7-3 four years ago.
But he hasn't made it past the quarter-finals at Ally Pally since.
Gezzy was KO'd in the final four of the Nordic Darts Masters by Rob Cross on Saturday.
It followed a successful Premier League campaign for the Welshman, reaching the finals at London's O2.

Price claims he is more than happy to keep competing for the next decade at least.
And he's made sure to put to bed any lingering questions of retirement.

"I mean, one World Championship, it's not good enough."

Price turned pro in 2012 after picking darts over rugby.
He's been the winner of seven major PDC titles - but admits as time goes on, he may be forced to pick and choose events.

The Iceman continued: "I would never give up totally.
"But the Pro Tours and Europeans, depending on how many it's going to be at that time, because it's getting more and more every year, but I'll stop doing those.
"I would never give my Tour Card up. I'd still do events and if they invite me to the Premier League and World Series, I'll still do them.
"But none of the lower events and just stop the travelling."
Darts' hectic pro schedule has become a major talking point among the sport's elite.
Nathan Aspinall recently branded the calendar "absolutely obscene".
The Asp fumed: "For us to take a weekend off, I have to pull out events.
"So I'm losing ranking money because I just need a few days off.
"And I've done that over the last couple of weeks because I was in a tight position in the Premier League, I really wanted to make the playoffs."
