Luke Littler finished his debut season on the World Series circuit in first place. That means "The Nuke" will lead the seed list at the World Series Finals in Amsterdam in September.
Seven World Series tournaments were played this season. Four times Littler managed to reach the final. In Bahrain and Poland, the 17-year-old Englishman ran away with the title. Littler also reached the final in Den Bosch and Wollongong, but had to be satisfied with second place.
In seven World Series tournaments, Littler managed to accumulate 50 points for the World Series Order of Merit. Behind Littler, Gerwyn Price finished in second place with 45 points. 'The Iceman' won the Nordic Darts Masters and the Australian Darts Masters this season. Furthermore, he was the losing finalist at the US Darts Masters.
Rob Cross captured third place with 38 points. 'Voltage' got to lift the cup at the US Darts Masters, and finished second at the Nordic Darts Masters and Poland Darts Masters. Luke Humphries rose to fourth in the World Series rankings by winning the New Zealand Darts Masters.
As a result, 'Cool Hand Luke' passed Michael van Gerwen, who remained in fifth place with 28 points. 'Mighty Mike' was missing from the two tournaments in 'Down Under' in August after winning the Dutch Darts Masters in January.
The top eight on the World Series Order of Merit are automatically qualified for the World Series Finals. This event will take place from Friday, September 13 to Sunday, September 15 at the AFAS Live in Amsterdam.
This tournament consists of a total of 32 players. In addition to Littler, Price, Cross, Humphries and Van Gerwen, Michael Smith, Peter Wright and Dimitri van den Bergh are also guaranteed participation. It is not yet known how the PDC intends to fill the destination of the remaining 24 starting spots.
