The Premier League darts, the most important competition format in the sport, is gradually reaching its conclusion. The fifteenth and penultimate match day was on the program in Leeds.
With Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, two players were already certain of the play-offs with the four best players, but it would be exciting for the other two tickets.
In the semi-finals in Leeds, Humphries defeated Michael Smith (PDC-2) 6-1. Michael van Gerwen beat the 17-year-old phenomenon Luke Littler with the same score.
In the final between Humphries and Van Gerwen it became a lot more exciting. Humphries, who took office with a new shirt and a new attendance number, eventually won the match 6-5. Like Littler and Van Gerwen, he has now won four matchdays this year.
