Luke Littler continues to tick off the accolades and for 'The Nuke', he has already become the most prolific treble 20 hitter on the European Tour as per statistics from Christopher Kempf also known as Ochepedia.

Littler had a record breaking output of 180's in 2024 and so it is no shock that by some distance he is the player with the highest expected score per dart at treble 20.
Out of more than 2,000 darts over 259 legs, he averages 38.64 per dart and is nearly as likely to hit the treble as singles in reality. Most players as per the analysis throw eight darts at treble per leg but in Littler's case, he needs few darts at treble 20 as a consequence of his high scoring.
Luke Humphries is second on the list and is the only player to have thrown 10,000 darts at treble 20 in the past five years of European Tour. His average score of 36.67 per dart places him just behind Price for second in the ranking of European Tour players. It is nearly two points behind Littler in first.
Michael van Gerwen on the otherhand who was the standard bearer has not kept pace with his rivals. His one dart average of 35.81 places him fourth less than half a point ahead of six other players.
Josh Rock is the only other player in Littler's generation to be in the top ten with 35.56. A figure that has increased as a result also of him winning a maiden European Tour title in the Netherlands last May.
The top five players in treble 20 averages also have won a total of 62 European Tour titles. More than half of all those awarded since 2012. Littler being an anomaly and only playing a year means this sample size is not greater ironically.
