Impressive numbers: Combined 105 average in Winmau World Masters final

The 2026 Winmau World Masters delivered a thrilling climax on Sunday evening with the final between Luke Littler and Luke Humphries. In the end, it was Littler who edged it 6-5, filling one of the last gaps in his trophy cabinet. In the process “The Nuke” also tightens his grip at the top of the Order of Merit.

Spectators at Arena MK in Milton Keynes were treated to a superb final at the Winmau World Masters 2026. It went all the way to a deciding set, where at 1-1 in legs the third leg would settle it. That one went to Littler, who claimed his first title at the Winmau World Masters on just his second appearance.

Littler averaged 104.72 in the final, while Humphries went even higher with 105.51. Combined, both finalists averaged over 105, which is extraordinary.

In the history of the Masters, it had only happened once before that the combined average of both finalists exceeded 105. Michael van Gerwen won the Masters in 2017 with a stunning 109.42 average. In that final, he beat Gary Anderson 11-7, with Anderson himself posting a 103.58 average. It should be noted that the Masters was not yet a ranking event at the time.

At the latest edition of the Winmau World Masters, Van Gerwen exited 3-1 in the first round against Damon Heta. Anderson, for his part, bowed out a round later after a 4-3 defeat to James Wade.

The next major on the calendar is the UK Open in early March. But February is also packed with action, including the start of the Players Championship and the European Tour.
