Following his Masters victory, Luke Littler downplayed the claim from Luke Humphries that he is the greatest darts player ever. Littler acknowledged Humphries' compliment, but insisted that Phil Taylor, a 16-time world champion, remains the best. Littler's recent success has propelled him up the ranks, but he feels he needs to surpass Taylor's records to claim the title of 'greatest'.

Humphries, after the Masters final, had initially declared Littler the 'greatest', later clarifying he meant most talented. Littler's win at the Masters put him level with James Wade on 11 major PDC titles. Gian van Veen, who lost to Littler in the 2024 World Championship final, believes Littler will dominate darts for years. This friendly debate reflects the changing guard in professional darts.

Littler's perspective highlights the respect for established legends like Taylor. He also addressed the involvement of influencers in darts, suggesting his friend Angry Ginge might attempt to earn a tour card. This comes amid criticism from Gary Anderson. The debate around talent versus experience continues to fuel discussions within the darts community.

What's next for Littler? He'll be a key player in the upcoming Premier League Darts, and his continued performance will be closely watched. Can he challenge Michael van Gerwen's record of 48 major PDC titles? The darts world eagerly awaits the next chapter in Littler's burgeoning career.
