Gerwyn Price, a well-known name in darts, has openly praised young talent Luke Littler, and the admiration is mutual! Despite Price having only two wins out of ten encounters with Littler, he’s made it clear that the 18-year-old is a force on the darts scene. The pair are set to face off again this Friday at the Bahrain Darts Masters, and fans can’t wait to see the action unfold.
Last year was a rollercoaster for both players. Price snagged several titles, including four Players Championship wins and the Poland Darts Masters. However, his World Championship journey was cut short in a surprising early exit by Wesley Plaisier. Littler, on the other hand, had a sensational run, clinching major titles like the World Championship, Grand Slam of Darts, and Premier League title, truly establishing himself as a dominant force.
After losing to Littler in the semi-final of the Players Championship Finals, Price didn’t hold back on social media, saying, “WOW, that kid doesn’t miss. Luke is levels above. It’s great for the game and keeps me practising.” His respect for Littler is evident, seeing him as a rising star whose career trajectory is only going upwards.
As the darts community eagerly watches Littler’s journey, the young champ continues to aim high. After a stellar 2025, where he vanquished well-known names like Darius Labanauskas and Rob Cross, Littler expressed his hunger for more victories, saying, “We’ve got to keep going, keep adding more titles.”
Both players bring thrilling energy to the sport, and their rivalry is one to watch. Will Price turn the tables, or will Littler continue his impressive streak? Stay tuned for their upcoming clash! 🎯
