Premier League darts star reveals the one thing that impresses every player about Luke Littler
Chris Dobey has revealed that Luke Littler’s training regime is seriously impressing the entire PDC tour. Littler has become a phenom in the sport since he burst on to the scene as a 16-year-old in December 2023, which was capped off as he became the sport’s youngest ever world champion in January. Littler is in frightening form right now and has sent darts into a frenzyPDC It has been a whirlwind for the teenage tungsten magician, who is currently ranked as No.2 on the PDC Order of Merit. His frightening form has already continued in 2025, as he sits atop of the Premier League standings after seven weeks of the invitational campaign. ‘The Nuke’ has transcended the sport and has left an impression at every stage of his darts career so far. And Premier League darts contender Chris Dobey has revealed that even includes the other players, who can’t believe he rarely practices. He said during on talkSPORT Drive on Wednesday: “The fact that he doesn’t practice, that impresses everybody. “He just sits there and is so relaxed. Then he goes up there and blows you off the board. “He comes backstage then just stays so relaxed. He barely practices. “It is just the confidence with him, if he goes up there like that then he will win. “I wish I had that confidence at his age, he has no fear and just does what he does, he is unbelievable.” Littler has earned rave reviews for his performances so far, having already won three nights in this year’s Premier League. Dobey has been blown away by Littler’s lack of practice before matchesPDC It includes hitting a nine-dart finish in his most recent win over Michael van Gerwen in Cardiff. He has also clinched yet another major since the start of the year, winning the 2025 UK Open to add to his already sizeable trophy haul. The 18-year-old is chasing down Luke Humphries, who remains at the top of the rankings, and is vying to continue to defend prize money to remain there. Dobey believes it is in fact Littler who is the leading player right now, and has praised his impact on the sport. He continued: “Just in the short space of since Littler came on the scene, how much he has brought to the sport. “Its unbelievable and he deserves all the credit he gets. Littler is the defending Premier League championGetty “He is probably the best player on the planet at the minute. He’s been really good. “You have to give him credit where it is due. All these academies and young people in the sport are down to him so.” Littler has become a huge name, and has been tipped by many of the darting fraternity to reach the heights of legend Phil Taylor. But for now focus will be on clinching his place in this year’s Premier League play-offs. He is already in pole position to do so, and he will be hoping to recapture the Premier League crown he won in his debut year in 2024.
