Darts results: Luke Littler wins his sixth major title of the season and ninth overall at the Players Championship Finals


Luke Littler's unrelenting reign of dominance continued in Minehead as he stormed to glory in the Players Championship Finals.

The world number one, who reached the top of the rankings en route to winning the Grand Slam of Darts against Luke Humphries last weekend, defeated close friend Nathan Aspinall 11-8 to pick up his six major title of 2025 and the ninth of his incredible career.

Despite only being on the circuit for less than two years, Littler is now fourth on the all-time list of major winners behind Phil Taylor (79), Michael van Gerwen (48) and James Wade (11) while he'll reach double figures before the age of 19 if he retains his world title at the Ally Pally in a few weeks time.

Littler averaged over 100 in all six of his games and a record-breaking 105.66 for the tournament and it'll take something special to stop him at the Ally Pally.

Earlier the Nuke defeated Gerwyn Price to win his 13th major semi-final out of 13, and incredibly he's averaged over 100 in all but one of those, with the exception being the double-start World Grand Prix.

“I’m very proud to lift this trophy, and now it’s all eyes on the big one at the World Championship,” said Littler.

“Nathan has been playing very well for a while, so I just had to dig in at the end there. I know I’ve played brilliantly in this tournament, and I’m glad I got the job done.

“Early on in my career I was just being myself, but now I’m starting to let out a bit more emotion and it’s paying off.”

Aspinall said: "This has been a fantastic tournament for myself. I’m back in the top 16 where I belong, and that was a big target coming into the weekend.

“I always get amazing support here in Minehead, but I’ve got to congratulate Luke. The guy is incredible.

“He’s a good mate of mine as everyone knows. What he’s done for this game is incredible, and I was happy to share the stage with him tonight.”
