Overview
- Littler, following Thursday's dominant night in Liverpool, beat Luke Humphries 6-2, Michael van Gerwen 6-5, and Jonny Clayton 6-1 to claim his fourth nightly win of the season.
- He closed out the final with a 104.54 three-dart average and a 60% checkout rate, staying composed despite scattered boos in the arena.
- The win narrows the standings gap to table leader Clayton to three points, and both players hold 15- and 18-point cushions over fifth place as the playoffs near.
- Fan backlash has lingered after a spat with Gian van Veen, which Littler said stemmed from a gesture to family and fans; he acknowledged calling van Veen a “crybaby” before later offering congratulations.
- The Premier League continues next week in Aberdeen under its weekly mini-tournament format, where eight invited players chase points toward a top-four spot and the May 28 O2 Arena finale.
