Gary Anderson has expressed his view that Luke Littler is not considered the top player in the world solely based on rankings. Littler, who made a remarkable breakthrough at the 2024 Darts World Championships, has been on a winning streak since then.
Despite reaching the final in his debut appearance, Littler has gone on to win numerous prestigious titles including the UK Open, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, and the Premier League. However, he remains in the second position globally, trailing behind Luke Humphries in prize money earnings.
When asked about the world’s best player, Anderson straightforwardly pointed to Luke Humphries as the top-ranked player. Littler, though trailing Humphries in earnings, remains optimistic about his chances of securing the number one spot, vowing to keep pushing forward.
As the upcoming world championship approaches, Littler is gearing up for the competition after appearing in the last two finals. The final list of opponents will be confirmed later this month, with the draw scheduled shortly after.
