In an exciting final at the O2 Arena in London on May 29, 2025, Luke Humphries defeated the reigning champion Luke Littler 11-8 to claim his first Premier League Darts title. World number one Humphries’ victory completes darts’ prestigious Triple Crown, joining an exclusive group that includes Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, and Gary Anderson.

In the 2025 Premier League final, Luke Humphries faced the reigning champion, 18-year-old prodigy Luke Littler, in a not entirely unexpected duel given the players’ performances throughout the year’s Premier League. Both players initially struggled to find their rhythm, partly due to a light breeze inside the arena that affected play. The match was level at 5-5 at the break, but Humphries found his form in the second half, breaking Littler’s throw to take a 7-5 lead. Despite Littler’s impressive tally of 180s and strong comeback, Humphries remained composed and secured the win on double 10 after missing two match darts. His performance earned him £275,000 in prize money and solidified his status as the world’s highest-ranked player.

Humphries’ path to the final was no less challenging. In the semifinal, he defeated Nathan Aspinall 10-7 in a close match, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure. Littler, on the other hand, beat Gerwyn Price 10-7 to reach the final, but it was Humphries who ultimately emerged victorious, ensuring Littler did not claim a second consecutive Premier League title.

Humphries Completes the Triple Crown

By winning the 2025 Premier League, Humphries achieved darts’ Triple Crown, having previously won the World Championship and World Matchplay. “It feels amazing. Only four people have done it, so it makes it really special,” Humphries told Sky Sports after the match.

His emotional victory was a testament to his resilience, especially after a tough period earlier in the year when he described darts as a “burden” due to a hectic schedule.

Humphries also took the opportunity to praise 16-time world champion Phil Taylor for helping him navigate his mental challenges.

“It’s emotional because you work so hard and are away from home for so long to win these trophies. It means everything,” he said with tears in his eyes as he lifted the trophy in front of a packed O2 Arena.
