“I felt powerless" - How does Luke Littler's 115.02 average stack up against all-time best displays
PDCThursday, 21 August 2025 at 10:05
In August 2025 at the New Zealand Darts Masters final, Luke Littler averaged 115.02, a record-breaking performance that surpassed all previous World Series final averages. This extraordinary three‑dart average underscores just how dominant Luke Littler was on the night.
In Luke Humphries words “I felt powerless against untouchable Luke Littler. I played pretty well today but when you run into a 115 average there's not much you can do.” Littler beat Humphries 8-4. Peter Wright holds the current Televised/Streamed record since stats were available with a 123.53 on a Players Championship against Krzysztof Ratajski.
What also needs to be stated is Luke Littler kept this average up over a 12 leg match, whereas Peter Wright completed his 123.5 average in a 6 leg thrashing over Krzysztof Ratajski. So for Littler to complete his over 12 legs and in ` higher pressure match, even though his average was slightly lower, is his better/ harder to do?
Dave Chisnall managed a 118.66 average in a 6-0 win over Mark Webster in the last 32 back in 2017. Yet again do you believe Chisnall’s average was harder to achieve or Littler’s as it was a closer match against the world number 1 in a final. Only Phil Taylor has achieved a higher average than Luke Littler in more legs. Taylor completed a 118.14 average in a 10-3 win over Gary Anderson back in 2009. We all know Littler is going for Taylor’s records, could this be another? Do you think Luke Littler has the chance to beat Peter Wrights average in his career and go above that and do it in a final?

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
