Luke Littler emphasizes with World Number 1, Luke Humphries over his emotionless comment after talking about their hectic scheduling.

This is not the first time a darts player recently has come out with a comment around their scheduling, Gerwyn Price has been saying the same thing for a whole year. In some cases if you're in the Premier League of darts you may only get 1 or 2 days off a week and they may be taken up with traveling depending on where the tournament is.
It has also caused some players to drop out of tournaments and pick and choose the ones they want to go far in, which shouldn't be the case.
"It’s not good to see a player like Luke Humphries, the world No.1, admit he’s struggling. I totally agree with him, and Gerwyn Price said the same thing last night – it’s tough, especially when players are travelling to places where there are no direct flights and then you have to catch a train to reach the venue.
Both Luke Humphries and Luke Littler admitted to each other about feeling tired after the final in Newcastle albeit 'The Nuke' has perhaps managed his schedule a bit better.
Littler said: "After I played against Luke in the final of the Premier League night in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, we both said we were tired".
“I think we averaged around 94 (93.62 and 93.31) in that game and I was just happy to get the win.”

Is the scheduling become too hectic, should the players competing in the Premier League feel less expected to turn up to some events, the main thing is we don't want our darts players turning up and not feeling excited to be there?

- I agree that this season the format was a bit stale, it would be better to have some new faces rotated in through the season. I also think they should vary the format a bit as it doesn't count for rankings, they could have different varieties of 501 (e.g. double start) or just different challenges.mikedarts03-07-2026
- I don't really understand why its an issue that Littler doesn't play in the events, they are barely televised so there is no draw for marketing and it gives the other players a better chance to define their narratives. The events are more of a throw back to old events. I agree that the format should be looked at, I don't know why they don't do a more interesting format or vary it through the season to improve interestmikedarts03-07-2026
- This shows they have the prize money structure wrong then (and OoM as a result). Put more £ into the floor, less on the TV and you'll attract more players to attend more often.BandB03-07-2026
- He's admitted his mistakes. He won't be the first or last player to get sent down,or take drugs. I honestly didn't like the lad,but at least he's owning up to his issues. So,good luck. In whatever he decides to dorick6702-07-2026
- Not everyone wants to watch pub players throwing 70 averages for about £500. Premier League is indeed a cash cow, but it does its job of promoting the game. This new suggestion for changes is one of the better ones. Even better if everyone knew what they had to do to qualify and it isn't just a walk-on popularity contest.StraightArrowNoBull01-07-2026
- I have a suggestion,scrap the whole thing. It's a pointless cash cow for anyone in the top 10.rick6730-06-2026
- Well nobody made him bet!! It's his own fault,if wants to lose money,then he shouldn't call Gerwyn out! He averaged 103,I would think the losing betting idiot could average 40! If you don't want to risk losing,keep your money in your pocket!rick6728-06-2026
- A great female line up this year, it would be nice to see Gemma win, but Beau is too good. Although the most important lady is missing....Lorraine Winstanley! You can't have a major tournament with out Lorraine Winstanley!! My dream is to see Lorraine hit a nine darter, run off the stage and out of the building with Dean.richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
- Laura looking fantastic and obviously has a hidden talent as a dart player. It was so nice to see her shock and joy of hitting that triple 20 I miss Laura, she was excellent and very knowledgeable regarding darts. Can you imagine that dozy wooden air head Emma Paton from SKY being able to do that, she'd hold the dart the wrong way round.richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
