NUKE DISARMED

REVENGE is a dish best served 12 months later, and this time Luke Littler was on the sharp end of the swordsman's epee.

In front of a record 14,000 sell-out crowd at London's 02 arena, Luke Humphries — the beaten finalist last year — completed the Triple Crown of darts by winning his first BetMGM Premier League title.

The world No.1 takes home the £275,000 winner's loot after prevailing 11-8 against Littler in a patchy final which rarely lived up to the Lukes of Hazard’s highest standards.

Cool Hand Luke's triumph means he has now won the three biggest prizes in the sport — world title, World Matchplay and Premier League.

And his eighth TV major denied Luke the Nuke the chance to crash through the £1m barrier for prize money in 2025 alone.
