Luke Littler leads the odds for 2025 Nordic Darts Masters — Luke Humphries tipped as closest challenger
Luke Littler Favored to Win 2025 Nordic Darts Masters, Luke Humphries Close Behind
Luke Littler, the 18-year-old PDC World Champion, is the pre-tournament favorite to claim the 2025 Nordic Darts Masters title in Copenhagen on June 6-7, with betting odds of 33/25 from Mr Vegas, as reported by PDC.tv. Littler, making his debut at the event after missing the 2024 edition, faces Swedish newcomer Viktor Tingstrom in the first round, where he’s a heavy 1/25 favorite to advance. His stellar 2024/25 season, including 10 titles like the PDC World Championship, Premier League, and World Series events in Bahrain and Poland, fuels his frontrunner status. Littler’s 106.12 average at the 2024 Worlds and a record-breaking 140.91 set average in 2025 underline his dominance.
Luke Humphries, the world No. 1 and reigning Premier League champion, is tipped as Littler’s closest challenger at 7/2 odds. Fresh off his 11-8 victory over Littler in the 2025 Premier League final, Humphries faces Latvia’s Madars Razma in the first round, with 1/5 odds to win. His 2024 triumphs, including the World Matchplay and Players Championship Finals, and a 79/20 betting line for the 2025 Worlds, highlight his form. Humphries’ ability to stay calm under pressure, as noted by SportsBoom, makes him a formidable contender.
Other notable contenders include defending champion Gerwyn Price at 33/5, Stephen Bunting at 11/1, and Rob Cross at 13/1, per Mr Vegas. Price faces Cor Dekker, while Cross, the 2024 runner-up, meets Andreas Harrysson. The tournament’s £100,000 prize fund offers £30,000 to the winner, £16,000 to the runner-up, £10,000 per semi-finalist, £5,000 per quarter-finalist, and £1,750 for first-round losers. Littler’s heavy scoring and Humphries’ clutch finishing set the stage for a potential blockbuster clash, with posts on X like @DartsNews02 emphasizing their rivalry.
