Superstar Luke Littler has set his own record in Premier League Darts.
“The Nuke” prevailed in Leeds on Thursday evening, winning his sixth evening of the current season. Littler had already won the same number of match days in 2025.
However, the reigning darts world champion made things extremely exciting on matchday 14 in Leeds: the 19-year-old beat Michael van Gerwen, Jonny Clayton and in the final against Luke Humphries 6:5.
“I’m very happy with myself and can now break my own record,” Littler commented on his success in an interview with Sky Sports.
In the final against long-term darts rival Humphries, the world number one even survived a match dart. “I took advantage of that straight away. But once again it was a good game between us,” Littler commented on the thriller.
“Three [Tages-]I’m happy to take back-to-back victories! Now I’m in the lead and just have to maintain the top position,” the young Englishman said while looking at the table in the Premier League Darts.
Exciting race in the Premier League Darts
Behind Littler (39 points) Clayton (34), Gerwyn Price (21) and Luke Humphries (19) are currently in the playoff ranks. Van Gerwen (18), Gian van Veen (16) and Stephen Bunting (13) are lurking behind. Josh Rock (8) is the last person who has no chance of making it to the final evening in London.
There are still two matchdays left in the Premier League Darts.
Littler is once again the top favorite this season. The darts youngster initially had a slow start in the elite league. Littler only won one game on the first four matchdays.
Since then, things have been going smoothly again for the 2024 title winner. Littler can improve his own record in the next two weeks.
