Luke Littler does it again! The Nuke demolishes Luke Humphries to weekly title in Newcastle, his 4th win of 2025 Premier League Darts season so far
PDC
Luke Littler has taken the win on Night Eight of the 2025 Premier League Darts in Newcastle. In the final, The Nuke comfortably defeated his main rival Luke Humphries 6-1, taking his fourth weekly win of the campaign so far and in the process extending his lead at the top of the table over the world number one.
En route to his fifth straight weekly final, Littler absolutely destroyed Stephen Bunting 6-0 in the quarter-finals, before coming a trickier test against Rob Cross in the semi-finals 6-3. Humphries meanwhile, got the better of the hometown hero Chris Dobey 6-3 in the quarter-finals, then needed to produce his very best darts to deny recent Euro Tour winner Nathan Aspinall 6-5 in a thrilling semi-final.
Over the course of their Premier League Darts meetings over the past two years, it has so often been Littler that has held the advantage and that proved to be the case again this Thursday night in Newcastle.
The world champion started incredibly well against the world number one, punishing a number of missed darts at double from Humphries to take firm control of the contest in legs of 15, 15, 17 and 16. By no means the most scintillating stuff The Nuke can produce, but as it turned out, more than good enough for a 4-0 lead.
Humphries though, struck back in leg 5, finally getting himself off the mark and with a break of throw no less. After missing two darts to hold in the next leg though, Humphries was punished again by Littler as the teenage sensation moved one away from the win with a 16-darter finished on tops. Moments later, Littler secured the win with a stunning 106 checkout for the match.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
