Gerwyn Price: Luke Littler Could Surpass Phil Taylor, But It’s Not Over for the Rest of Us
Gerwyn Price has acknowledged the incredible rise of Luke Littler, even suggesting that the teenage sensation could surpass Phil Taylor’s legendary status in darts. However, Price insists that it’s far from “game over” for the rest of the field.
Littler’s meteoric rise has been one of the biggest stories in darts. At just 17, he has already reached major finals, broken records, and demonstrated a level of composure beyond his years. His rapid success has drawn comparisons to Taylor, the 16-time world champion widely regarded as the greatest player in the sport’s history.
Price, a former world champion himself, recognizes Littler’s potential but remains confident in his own abilities. “Luke is a fantastic player, and he could go on to achieve even more than Phil Taylor. But let’s be clear—it’s not over for the rest of us,” Price stated. “There are still plenty of top players in the game, and we’re not going anywhere.”
The Welshman’s comments reflect the competitive nature of modern darts, where established stars like Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright, and himself continue to battle for major titles. While Littler’s rise has been spectacular, Price believes the depth of talent in the sport ensures that no single player will dominate as Taylor once did.
That said, if Littler continues his current trajectory, he could redefine the sport for a new generation. But as Price and others have made clear, the fight for supremacy in darts is far from over. With multiple world-class players still in contention, fans can expect thrilling battles for years to come.
