In a dramatic series of events during the Premier League Darts, 17-year-old sensation Luke Littler made a stunning debut by defeating world champion Luke Humphries with a score of 6-2. Despite the victory, Littler's debut was not without controversy; his match against Humphries ended with the world champion throwing a tantrum on stage, for which he later issued an apology. Littler's success continued as he advanced to the semi-finals but was ultimately beaten by Michael Smith and withdrew from the final. Throughout the tournament, Littler faced various criticisms, including comments on his weight and warnings about his practice habits potentially affecting his form. The teenager also faced heckling from the crowd, which led to a rival's drastic request to remove the audience. Despite these challenges, Littler's performance was notable, and he has already signed up for a lucrative side hustle, indicating a bright future in the sport.
