Luke Littler took the win on Night 14 of the 2024 Premier League Darts season. 'The Nuke' was too strong for Rob Cross in the final in Aberdeen, 6-4.
For Littler, it is the second weekly title in a row and already his fourth weekly title this year in Premier League Darts. "I'm just delighted to get over the line again and book my place at The O2," reflected Littler afterwards. "That was my aim coming into the Premier League, so to have achieved that with two weeks to spare is a great achievement."
It wasn't all rosy for Littler in Aberdeen however. After his quarterfinal win against Nathan Aspinall, he reacted strongly towards the crowd, which had been regularly booing him. "It's just what any player does. If they're whistling and we win, we tell them to be quiet," he put the incident into perspective. "Whatever happens, happens. I just have to rake it on the chin."
"I think I've definitely settled myself into the Premier League; the first few weeks were 'okay' and since then I've learned the routine and won four nights," he added in conversation with the PDC. "I'll still be aiming to win the next two nights coming up, and now I can play with freedom. After those nights my focus will be on London."

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
