Final
Luke Littler 16-11 Luke Humphries
Luke Littler delivered a dazzling performance to defeat his long-time rival Luke Humphries and successfully defend his Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts title on a historic Sunday in Wolverhampton.
The teenage prodigy became just the fourth player to retain the prestigious Eric Bristow Trophy, overcoming the 2023 champion 16–11 to extend his unbeaten run at WV Active Aldersley. Having triumphed on his Grand Slam debut a year ago, Littler has now amassed 14 straight wins, following up his semi-final victory over Danny Noppert with another masterclass in the final.
Littler breezed through the group stage with emphatic wins over Karel Sedláček, Connor Scutt and Daryl Gurney, before dispatching Wessel Nijman in Round Two. After a thrilling comeback against Josh Rock in the quarters, he powered past Noppert 16–9 — reeling off seven consecutive legs to book a blockbuster showdown with Humphries.
Humphries led for much of the final, but Littler’s sensational mid-match finishing, including a pivotal 160 checkout to move 11–9 ahead, swung the momentum decisively. The Warrington starlet went on to win ten of the last 13 legs, sealing the £150, 000 top prize and ascending to world number one — ending Humphries’ 23-month reign at the summit.
“It was always going to be tough, ” said Littler, who averaged 100.61 and struck fifteen 180s to claim his second PDC Premier title. “Luke played brilliantly tonight. It was a strange match, but I’m delighted to come through it. That 160 was a real game-changer for me.”
Humphries had made a strong start, taking a 4–2 lead with sharp finishing and clinical two-dart combinations. Littler responded with a three-leg surge before Humphries levelled with a tidy 112 finish. The 30-year-old regained control at 8–6 after successive 12-darters, only for Littler to strike back with a 167 checkout to tie and then a roof-raising 160 that turned the tide for good.
Despite a late hold from Humphries, Littler closed out with a composed 96 finish to seal another landmark triumph. “I’m really proud of this week, ” Humphries reflected. “It’s been three finals in a row without a win, which hurts, but I’m playing well. Luke deserves everything — he’s been brilliant for darts and fully earned world number one.”
Humphries earned his final spot after an electric 16–13 victory over Gerwyn Price, producing a 106.25 average and 16 maximums in the semi-final. Yet the night ultimately belonged to Littler, who capped an extraordinary year with his fifth televised ranking title — a feat previously achieved only by Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen.
