Luke Littler calls for Premier League Darts to make change after raking in £150,000 prize money in one week
Luke Littler, the darts sensation known as “The Nuke,” has proposed a significant change to the Darts Premier League after an extraordinary week that saw him pocket £150,000. The 18-year-old has been unstoppable over the past 10 days, securing 14 consecutive victories. His recent triumphs include reaching the final of Night 4 in the Premier League (where he fell to Luke Humphries), followed by winning the UK Open, Premier League Night 5, and the Belgian Darts Open—all within a whirlwind seven-day span.
Littler’s latest victory in Wieze, Belgium, netted him £30,000 as he successfully defended his 2024 Belgian Darts Open title. This added to the £110,000 he earned from the UK Open and a £10,000 bonus for his Night 5 Premier League win. Fresh off his 8-5 defeat of local favorite Mike de Decker in the Belgian final, the world champion called for the Wieze tournament to be incorporated as a Premier League Night going forward.
The reigning Premier League champion, Littler dominated the 2024 season, winning four nights before overcoming Michael Smith in the semi-finals and Luke Humphries in the final at The O2. His next challenges include two Players Championship events in Leicester on March 11 and 12, followed by Night 6 of the Premier League in Nottingham on March 13.
Littler’s hot streak hasn’t come without drama. He recently revealed a chaotic crowd incident during the Premier League, where a pint was thrown at Nathan Aspinall, describing the atmosphere as “crazy.”
