Luke Littler's Dominance Debated

Sky Sports Champions League •

Teenage dart sensation Luke Littler is dominating the sport, recently winning the World Matchplay Darts for the second consecutive year, defeating Gerwyn Price 18-9. Having secured every PDC major title in 2026, his performance has ignited a debate about his standing as the 'most dominant sportsperson' globally.

On Sky Sports' 'Love The Darts' podcast, pundits Chris Murphy and Laura Turner discussed Littler's unparalleled control. Murphy argued that based on major titles, Littler is the most dominant, holding all "Grand Slam" titles and on track for a clean sweep. While acknowledging tennis star Jannik Sinner and golfer Scottie Scheffler, Murphy concluded they don't compare to Littler's current dominance.

Turner agreed, highlighting the rarity of two English players dominating their respective sports, mentioning Beau Greaves's own remarkable success in women's darts. However, both pundits believe Littler still has a way to go to surpass darts legend Phil Taylor, who holds 16 world titles across different eras. Littler currently has two PDC World Darts Championship titles, won in 2025 and 2026.
