“It gives you the confidence to go on and win more and more" - Luke Humphries looking for third major title in a matter of weeks in Minehead

Luke Humphries is considered one of the top favourites for the overall victory at the Players Championship Finals after winning both the World Grand Prix and the Grand Slam of Darts in recent weeks.
Winning the first major title in October seems to have started a wave for Humphries. “I think when you get that first title over the line, everything else becomes a lot easier," Humphries tells pdc.tv.

“It gives you the confidence to go on and win more and more, and it’s no coincidence that in the last five years I’ve not won a major title, and now I’ve won two in the space of six weeks."
Humphries is now widely considered to be the best darter on the planet at this moment, but ''Cool Hand Luke'' realizes that this status can quickly reverse again. ''Maybe I am the best player in the world at the moment, but it fluctuates so much because we’re in era now full of fantastic dart players. Next weekend I could be second or third best, if Gerwyn Price picks up a title, or Michael van Gerwen picks up a title!" Humphries said.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
