THE Premier League Darts is now entering the final weeks of the competition.
World champion Luke Humphries sits second in table and Michael van Gerwen, who has won a record SEVEN Premier League titles, is also currently in the play-off spots.
But teenage sensation Luke Littler has taken the tournament by storm, winning four nights and currently sits TOP with 36 points.
The Nuke has taken the world of darts by storm following his spectacular tournament debut.
Littler brushed aside some of the sport‘s biggest names, including idol Raymond van Barneveld and 2018 world champion Rob Cross, on his route to the final of the World Championships earlier this year.
The teenager was even 4-2 up against Humphries in the last two, but the fairytale ending wasn’t to be for the 16-year-old star.
Due to Littler’s stunning performance at the World Darts Championship, there were calls from fans and fellow pros for him to be included in this year’s Premier League.
He has also performed in two smaller tournaments in the weeks since that final defeat – stunning Michael van Gerwen to win the Bahrain Masters before the three-time world champion got his revenge on home soil in the Dutch Masters.
SunSport has all the information on this year’s Premier League line-up and when the huge competition begins.
