Overview
- The world No. 1 beat Michael van Gerwen 8-5 in Riyadh to take the £30,000 top prize and his first title since defending the World Championship.
- A £75,000 bonus for a nine-darter, with a further £75,000 for a follow-up bullseye, went unclaimed, and Littler said he was gutted no perfect leg was hit.
- Littler described the Saudi crowd as subdued, while the PDC said all attendees paid for tickets and were genuine supporters.
- The victory followed his 21-match streak ending to Gerwyn Price in Bahrain, with Littler defeating Price on the way to the Saudi final.
- Marking his 19th birthday, he is taking a short break in Dubai and acknowledged he is not immune to a future drop-off in form.
