He also hit a 9 darter on his Players Championship debut. Which of course he won. Incredible.

What a player luke littler! Breaking records, smashing 9 darters. Winning 2 tournaments in his first senior tour. Im excited to see how far he can go!! What a talent

The Euro Tour is back and i loved every second of it. My favourite series of tournaments on the darting calendar. The Belgian fans r absolutely brilliant and they have set a high standard for all the other venues. What a tournament we had here this weekend with a superb final to cap it off and just the small matter of a 17 year old kid winning on debut, hitting a 9 darter on the way just as he did on the World Series and the Pro Tour. The Nuke really is the debut king and hes a special, generational talent and the best thing thats happened to darts in recent times. I just cant wait to keep watching him play and watching all the other top pros having to play at the top of their games to try and beat him. Rob Cross played brilliantly throughout and even had a 108 average in that final and still came up just short but it shows how good u have to play to try and beat Littler which is great for the viewers and for entertainment. Long may this continue.

What a final! Ever since Cross took out Taylor in his swan song, I've never cared much for him, but he grows on me every time I see him play. A bundle of class and talent. Well played to both!

Cannot wait for the World Grand Prix - Luke will be ALL OVER doing a double-in 9-darter there!! Also grats to Littler for now being seeded in any tournament in 2024+ now.
