Luke Littler, the emerging darts sensation, has had a rollercoaster week in the Premier League Darts, culminating in a dramatic, nerve-wracking final against Michael van Gerwen. Littler's journey was marked by a series of high-profile matches, including a victory over Rob Cross in the quarter-finals and a win against Luke Humphries, setting up a final clash with Van Gerwen. Despite a valiant effort, Littler was defeated by Van Gerwen in a closely contested final. The match was not without controversy, as Van Gerwen was accused of breaking a little-known rule during the final, which Littler's fans found disappointing. Van Gerwen responded to questions about the incident with a sharp retort, 'Not true', and silenced a reporter with a savage seven-word jibe, while Littler sought advice from fellow darts stars as the rivalry heated up. Amidst the competitive tension, Littler also achieved a remarkable feat by hitting a 9-darter in his first ever PDC Pro Tour campaign, beating Michele Turetta 6-1 to move into the last 16 of the Players Championship 1. Following his defeat, Littler showed off a fresh haircut.
