PDCThursday, 08 May 2025 at 11:43
After thirteen.nights, the first player is certain to participate in the Premier League Darts playoffs. Luke Littler captured his fifth weekly title of the season Thursday night, mathematically securing himself a spot in the top four.
Littler won in Birmingham over Stephen Bunting (6-5), Nathan Aspinall (6-5) and Michael van Gerwen (6-4) to pocket the weekly bonus of 10,000 pounds. Littler is now on 35 points and can try to improve the points record in the coming weeks. That record stands at 40, set by Jonny Clayton (2022) and Littler himself (2024).
Luke Humphries is in second place with 26 points and is also almost certain to participate in the final night. Gerwyn Price holds the third spot with 22 points, while Van Gerwen took over fourth place from Nathan Aspinall after his final finish.
Van Gerwen reached his second weekly final of the season and has now accumulated 20 points, one more than Aspinall. Price, Van Gerwen and Aspinall look set to determine who will grab the final two spots for the playoffs.
Rob Cross is certainly not hopeless yet, but with fourteen points, 'Voltage' still has a big deficit to make up. Chris Dobey is in seventh place with 12 points, while Stephen Bunting is still the straggler with eight points.
The fourteenth round of play in Premier League Darts will be played in Leeds on Thursday, May 8. Leader Littler will then face Aspinall, while Van Gerwen will play against Humphries. Price will face Cross, while Bunting and Dobey will also meet.

- As much as it's disappointing that England lost,Peter Wright's speculation didn't help himself and Gary either. It is, however, another pointless tournament. So,like the football club world cup,it means absolutely nothingrick6714-06-2025
- That poor trophy being next to that ! Oh my good god, what a hideous image !!richieburnettrocks10-06-2025
- Inspiration from walk on music Losing weight and trying to improve fitness from the dull as dishwater Dobey. The only inspiration Phil Taylor needed was to win and win and win. Players of today are pathetic, so vain and more obsessed with being popular or their walk on music than actually being dedicated to putting in the effort and winning something.richieburnettrocks08-06-2025
- Agree with much of this though as stated on the Rob cross thread and assuming he has a manager, he has not done a very good job. Wherever there is money there will always be those trying to get a cut, skim the cream from the top, more money in the game, more hangers on, fitness trainers, phycologists, accountants, social media analyst.Mysstree07-06-2025
- Thought Price managed the pace brilliantly — clinical early on, then just controlled the middle legs to stop Dekker building any rhythm. Was that game management though or just natural dominance?dartsmad06-06-2025
- Never come across as the brightest spark(y). Good manager, good accountant, not for Rob. £665k paid to a connected party …. hmmmm. How the hell has he escaped jail, sure i have seen people go inside for much less tax evasion.Mysstree05-06-2025
- This setup gives a free ride to guys at the bottom end of the ProTour qualification, where you get first round European Tour entry and Players Championship seeding. I reckon that if you beat every host nation qualifier and half the rest you could enter every major except the Grand Slam and earn £100k without ever beating a top-32 player.Scoobedybop05-06-2025
- Would agree that winning the League phase is the pinnacle. Imagine the tragedy if MVG had qualified without winning a night in fourth place then won the play offs. It just shows that the premier league is a money making jaunt for a few elites and the PDC and a night out for pissheads. Now it’s over its World Series time, another non ranked exhibition series thats no longer really needed. Bring back some serious tournaments like the Las Vegas Desert Classic..Mysstree02-06-2025
- it actually benefits humphries to agree with you as it'll mean he's on a list of three rather than four who've done it. that said, the premier league is by far one of the most difficult tournaments to win so i don't personally disparage that achievement too much, especially for players who've qualified by right rather than invitation (although i'd argue winning the league phase is probably more of an achievement than winning the playoffs).colt01-06-2025
- It’s not the ‘Triple Crown’, thats the three Worlds, Championship, Matchplay and Grand Prix. May carry more prize money however the Premier League is still just a glorified promotional tool for drunken non dart fans. The PL will always come behind the already mentioned tournaments plus the other ranked Majors.Mysstree29-05-2025
