Overview
- Littler beat league leader Jonny Clayton 6-4 in Cardiff for his first Premier League night win of 2026, hitting two 170 checkouts and narrowly missing a nine-darter on D15.
- He averaged 111.05 and sealed a 170 finish to defeat Gerwyn Price in the semi-final, becoming the fifth different winner in five weeks and climbing to third on nine points as Clayton stayed atop the table.
- The 19-year-old said he reduced his usual crowd engagement to concentrate on results, describing the victory as a needed refocus after a slow start.
- Switching to the UK Open, Littler demolished Damon Heta 10-3, edged past Kevin Doets earlier on Saturday, and then beat Gary Anderson 10-5 with a 101 average to reach the last eight.
- His resurgence signals sustained momentum across events, with his Premier League push back in playoff position and his UK Open title defense moving into finals day.
