Luke Littler received high praise from Luke Humphries, who dubbed him as the best darts player ever following his victory in the World Masters. Littler defeated Humphries 6-5 in a thrilling match to secure his 11th major PDC title and a £100,000 prize with an impressive 104.72 average and 13 maximums in Milton Keynes.

With this win, Littler now ranks as the joint third most successful player in the history of darts, alongside James Wade, trailing only Michael van Gerwen (48 titles) and Phil Taylor (79 titles). He only needs to triumph in the European Championship to complete his collection of PDC ranked titles.

Despite Humphries outperforming Littler with a 105.51 average and leading 5-4, Littler rallied in the final two sets to claim victory. Reflecting on the match, Littler acknowledged the pressure Humphries imposed and credited his opponent’s composure under stress. Humphries expressed disappointment at not winning but remained positive about his performance in the tournament.

The rivalry between Littler and Humphries continues to captivate fans, with Littler holding an edge after securing TV final wins over Humphries in the previous season. In other news, Sky has reduced the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the upcoming season, offering over 1,400 live matches across various leagues, including a boost in the number of live Premier League games to be aired.
