Gerwyn Price Aims Barb at Luke Littler and Luke Humphries After Bahrain Darts Masters Defeat
Gerwyn Price appeared to take aim at Luke Littler and Luke Humphries following his exit from the Bahrain Darts Masters, delivering a pointed message that quickly caught the attention of darts fans.
The former world champion suffered defeat at the World Series event and, while stopping short of naming names directly in his immediate reaction, Price’s comments were widely interpreted as being directed at the sport’s two most prominent Lukes. The Welshman suggested that some players were benefitting from hype and external narratives rather than letting their darts do the talking.
Price has never been afraid to speak his mind, and his latest remarks reinforced his belief that performances on stage matter more than reputation or media attention. In the aftermath of his loss, he hinted that consistency across the season — not short-term success — is what truly defines elite players.
The comments inevitably drew a reaction from fans, with some praising Price’s honesty and others accusing him of sour grapes after defeat. Littler, the reigning world champion, and Humphries, the current world number two, have both been regular targets of scrutiny due to their status at the top of the game.
Despite the post-match frustration, Price insisted his focus remains on regaining top form as the World Series continues and the Premier League approaches. He also stressed that rivalries and opinions are part of what makes darts compelling.
With Price, Littler and Humphries all expected to feature heavily in major tournaments throughout 2026, any on-stage meetings between them are likely to carry extra edge following the Bahrain remarks.
