Luke Littler writes further history in the darts. The reigning world champion made two records on the 13th matchday of the Premier League in Birmingham.
Luke Littler dominates the Premier League Darts. “The Nuke” won the 13th matchday in Birmingham on Thursday evening. The 18-year-old prevailed against Stephen Bunting (6: 5), Nathan Aspinall (6: 5) and Michael van Gerwen (6: 4).
Luke Littler with two records in the Premier League Darts
Littler is the first player to win five game days for himself during a season in the Premier League Darts.
The elite league has consisted of eight participants each since 2022, who carry out a mini tournament in KO mode per match day. In addition to five points for the table, the winner of the evening receives a bonus price money of £ 10,000 (around £ 12,000), which, like all income from the Premier League Darts, does not flow into the world rankings.
Littler also set a second record in Birmingham. The young Englishman played most Maxima during a Premier League season after 132 180s after the 13th matchday.
Luke Littler leads Premier League Darts confidently
Littler now leads the league with 35 points and can probably plan firmly with the playoff participation. He is “very happy at the moment and I am very confident that I will stay at the top of the table,” said the reigning world champion on Thursday evening at “Sky Sports”.
Behind Littler follow Luke Humphries (26 points), Gerwyn Price (22) and Michael van Gerwen (20), who would also be qualified for the playoffs in London (May 29). Nathan Aspinall (19), Rob Cross (14), Chris Dibey (12) and Stephen Bunting (8) complete the tableau.
The Premier League Darts will take place next Thursday for the 14th matchday in Leed’s station.
