Mark Webster believes Luke Littler will not quit darts despite fractious crowd treatment. Littler's 2026 clean sweep hopes ended with a 10-4 defeat to Jonny Clayton at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam. Earlier in the tournament, Littler threatened to boycott events in the Netherlands after being booed and whistled at during victory over Nathan Aspinall.

The back-to-back world champion also faced hostility during wins over Danny Noppert and Charlie Corstorphine intervened in the last-16 win over Aspinall. Webster stated Littler is determined to stay in the sport, noting the PDC are trying to eliminate whistling but booing is part of darts. He suggested Littler could cherry-pick events in the Netherlands, mentioning a Premier League night there he thinks Littler will play.

Webster added Littler has dealt with booing in the past and is sure he'll be okay, stating he has a long time left in the sport.
