Luke Littler continued his blistering winning run by securing a third Players Championship title of the year in Wigan on Tuesday.

Less than 48 hours after claiming the World Series Finals title in Amsterdam, the 17-year-old stormed to victory at the Robin Park Sports Centre to become the first player to pick up three ProTour titles this season.

Littler fended off a valiant fightback from Stephen Bunting in the final to seal an 8-7 win after the former Lakeside Champion had forced a deciding leg from 5-1 down.

“I think I’ve played really well today,” reflected Littler – who makes it nine PDC titles in as many months on the circuit.

“I came here with lots of confidence after winning in Amsterdam. I couldn’t quite believe how well I played there.

“I’ve really enjoyed myself today. It’s probably the most fun I’ve had on the ProTour since the first one I won, and I cannot wait for tomorrow now.”

Littler dominated a star-studded 128-player field to scoop the £15,000 top prize, kicking off his campaign with victories over Adam Gawlas, Jacques Labre and Andrew Gilding.

The teenage sensation averaged 104 to dispatch Kevin Doets 6-2 in the Last 16, and he thrashed world number one Luke Humphries by the same scoreline in the quarter-finals, with both men averaging 101.

Littler followed up with a 7-2 demolition of top seed Dave Chisnall in the semi-finals, before narrowly denying Bunting in a thrilling final.

Bunting, runner-up to Raymond van Barneveld in Players Championship Five, saw off Chris Dobey and Gerwyn Price in the latter rounds, though he had to settle for the £10,000 runner-up prize.

The reigning Masters champion followed up an opening round whitewash of Danny Lauby with wins over Jitse Van der Wal and Martin Lukeman.

Bunting brushed aside Dobey to set up a quarter-final clash against Jermaine Wattimena, and after averaging 101 to dump out the Dutchman, he claimed five of the last six legs to complete a superb comeback win over Price.

The Welshman accounted for Jose De Sousa, Michael Smith, Damon Heta and Cameron Menzies during his run to the semi-finals, having opened his campaign with a 103 average in a 6-3 success over Madars Razma.

Chisnall reached the same stage after posting ton-plus averages to deny Darryl Pilgrim and Florian Hempel, before overturning a 5-1 deficit to stun Ryan Searle in a thrilling quarter-final showdown.

Searle was joined in the Last Eight by World Champion Humphries – who dropped just six legs in wins against Lee Cocks, Krzysztof Ratajski, Scott Williams and Gian van Veen, before bowing out to a rampant Littler.

Menzies averaged 108, 107 and 103 in wins over Michael van Gerwen, Wesley Plaisier and William Borland respectively, before his run was halted by a tenacious Price in the quarter-finals.

Jermaine Wattimena made up the quarter-final line-up in Wigan, notably landing a 170 checkout in the deciding leg of his Last 16 tie against Rob Cross.

Tuesday’s action also featured two nine-dart finishes, as Andrew Gilding and Vincent van der Voort became the latest stars to achieve perfection on the PDC ProTour in 2024.

Van der Voort nailed the nine in his first round victory over Mensur Suljovic, before Gilding produced a perfect leg of his own against Wessel Nijman, averaging 114 to run out an emphatic 6-1 winner in Round Two.
