Luke Littler, at just 19 years old, secured the World Masters title, prompting accolades from Luke Humphries who dubbed him “the greatest darts player who has ever lived.” Littler’s victory came after a tense 6-5 match against Humphries, where he showcased exceptional skill and determination to claim his 11th major PDC title and a substantial £100,000 prize in Milton Keynes.
With an impressive 104.72 average and 13 maximums, Littler defeated his opponents throughout the tournament, including a decisive win over Josh Rock in the quarter-finals and a tight 5-4 victory against Gerwyn Price in the semi-final.
