Gary Anderson argues that Luke Littler is not considered the top player globally, solely based on the current rankings. Littler, who made a significant impact at the 2024 Darts World Championships, has had an impressive run in recent years.
Despite making it to the final in his debut appearance, Littler has continued to dominate the darts scene, securing victories in the UK Open, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, and the Premier League. However, he remains in second place globally, trailing behind Luke Humphries in prize money earnings.
When asked about the best player globally, Gary Anderson pointed to Luke Humphries as the top contender. Anderson highlighted Michael van Gerwen as the leading player in Europe outside of the UK. Littler, acknowledging the current rankings, remains focused on improving his game to secure the top spot.
Littler, determined to reach the number one position, understands the competition but remains optimistic about his chances. With the upcoming world championships, Littler aims to maintain his momentum and apply pressure on his competitors to achieve his goal.
As the darts community debates on the best player, Littler prepares for the upcoming world championship at Alexandra Palace in December. While the final opponents are yet to be confirmed, Littler remains focused on his game and the opportunity to claim the top spot.
