Luke Littler’s remarkable victory at the World Masters has earned him high praise from fellow darts player Luke Humphries. The 19-year-old outplayed Humphries in a thrilling match to secure his 11th major PDC title and a £100,000 prize in Milton Keynes. Littler’s impressive performance included a 104.72 average and hitting 13 maximums on his way to victory.
With this win, Littler solidified his position as one of the top players in darts history, currently tied for the third most successful player alongside James Wade. He now only needs to win the European Championship to complete his collection of PDC ranked titles.
Despite Humphries’ slightly higher average of 105.51 and leading 5-4 in the match, Littler displayed resilience and skill in the final two sets to secure the title. Reflecting on his win, Littler acknowledged the challenges faced but expressed satisfaction in emerging victorious.
While Humphries acknowledged his disappointment in not winning, he recognized the positives from the tournament and remains optimistic about his game. Littler and Humphries continue to dominate the sport, with Littler holding an edge after previous TV final victories over his rival in the last season.
