Luke Littler bounced back from his first-round exit at the Betfred World Matchplay to claim a seventh PDC title of the year at Players Championship 15 in Milton Keynes.
Littler made a terrific start to this week's treble-header in Milton Keynes by registering his seventh PDC title of the year, with the teenager also becoming the first player to win multiple Players Championship titles in 2024. The 17-year-old won the year's opening Players Championship event back in February, which sparked a remarkable sequence of 14 different winners from as many events, but has now ended that run by beating Dutchman Wessel Nijman 8-6 in a fascinating final.
Littler continued his charge with a crushing 7-2 success against his stablemate Chris Dobey in the semi-finals, averaging 103 to set up a showdown against Nijman, as two of the sport's most exciting talents locked horns. Trailing 2-0, Nijman reeled off four straight legs - including a spectacular 160 checkout - to seize the initiative, only for Littler to respond with legs of 13 and 11 darts to restore parity at four apiece.
