Luke Littler Clinches Players Championship 20 Title in Thrilling Final

Luke Littler secured a dramatic 8-7 victory over Stephen Bunting to claim the Players Championship 20 title in Wigan. The 17-year-old darting sensation, who had established a commanding 5-1 lead, faced a fierce comeback from Bunting, who managed to level the score at 7-7 in the best-of-15 final. Littler, however, demonstrated remarkable composure to win the final leg and seal his seventh victory of the day.

Earlier in the tournament, Littler showcased his formidable skill by defeating world champion Luke Humphries 6-2 in the quarter-finals and overcoming Dave Chisnall 7-2 in the semi-finals. This win marks Littler’s third Players Championship title of 2024 and follows his recent triumph at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam, where he secured his maiden title.

With this latest victory, Littler extends his impressive run to 12 consecutive match wins across two major competitions, further establishing his status as one of the sport’s rising stars.
