Luke Littler got a green jacket hung around his shoulders after winning the Austrian Darts Open last weekend. In the final of the Euro Tour tournament in Graz, he won 8-4 over Joe Cullen.
The green jacket is called a "yanker" by locals. That the winner of the Austrian Darts Open receives this award has become a long-standing tradition.
The jacket comes from the region of Styria, where the Austrian Darts Open is currently held. A local tourism agency came up with the idea of giving the winner of this event one of these jackets hence why Littler got one. It came to prominence when Jonny Clayton won the Austrian Darts Open for the first time.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
