Teenager Luke Littler continues his rise with his first major PDC title, beating Luke Humphries in the Premier League Darts final.
In Wednesday's pre-2024 Premier League Darts final media conference Luke Littler refused to touch the trophy, as has become superstition.
"I'm just enjoying it. I've been practising really hard and you can probably see it on the oche. I was dead focused, I didn't want to blink. His desire to win and entertain while doing so married up in leg 11. Returning from a break at 5-5, Littler threw his fourth nine-darter of 2024 to take control of the match.
For Littler, he was able to prove doubters wrong, with many questioning whether he should have even been in this year's Premier League just weeks after his shock run to the World Championship final on debut over Christmas. Already, two of 2024's biggest darting finals have been played out by Littler and Humphries and perhaps, with the two running away at the top of this year's Premier League table, it is a sign of what is to come in the immediate future of darts.
"Luke Littler has already done more than 99% of players do in a 20-year career. He's just that good," added former World Championship semi-finalist Wayne Mardle on Sky Sports.The teenage sensation is showing no signs of slowing down, a frightening prospect for those trying to stop him from one day becoming one of the sport's all-time greats.Wins Belgian Darts OpenHis next event will be the US Darts Masters from 31 May.
