Luke Littler has admitted he questioned his future after tough times in Brighton and Manchester during the Premier League season, before going on to lift the trophy for the second time in three years. The world No.1 beat Luke Humphries 11-10 in a gripping final to claim the title, with darts expert Wayne Mardle describing Littler as playing at 'peak level' and capable of winning in different ways.
Speaking after his triumph, Littler revealed the mental struggles he faced earlier in the campaign. 'There were moments in Brighton and Manchester where I really doubted myself,' the 19-year-old said. 'But to come through that and win the Premier League again shows a step forward for me.'
Mardle, a Sky Sports Darts columnist, praised Littler's resilience and versatility. 'He's playing at peak level right now,' Mardle said. 'What's impressive is he can win in different ways — he doesn't just rely on one style. That's what makes him so dangerous.'
The final against Humphries was a nail-biter, with Littler edging out his rival 11-10 to secure his second Premier League title in three years. The victory caps a remarkable turnaround for the world No.1, who had openly questioned his future during the season's low points.
