World number one darts player Luke Littler, just 19 years old, has been adjusting his tournament schedule to better manage his time and priorities. This year, he has only participated in two Players Championship floor events, entered three European Tour tournaments, and opted not to compete in the recent World Series events in New Zealand and Australia. Littler has explained that his top ranking gives him the flexibility to choose which tournaments he wants to play, allowing him to focus on events that align with his goals.
Darts governing figure Barry Hearn has cautioned top players against skipping too many events, but Littler has emphasized that his focus is on rest and family time. He has mentioned the need for "crucial days off" to balance his demanding schedule. He also noted that his significant lead over the world number two gives him the luxury of taking a step back without jeopardizing his position.
Littler has already secured six of the year's major titles and is aiming for a historic achievement: winning all 10 major titles in a single season. To do this, he needs to qualify for the Players Championship Finals in November. However, he started his campaign later than usual after skipping the first 26 floor events of the year. His progress will be closely watched at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam. If he doesn't win that event, it may affect his chances of securing all major titles this year and qualifying for the Players Championship in Minehead.
Littler has said he can only focus on one tournament at a time and is currently concentrating on the World Series in Amsterdam. If he wins there, he plans to compete in the Pro Tours in Den Bosch to try and qualify for Minehead. His immediate focus is on the upcoming World Series event in Amsterdam this weekend.
In addition to his competitive pursuits, Littler and his sponsor, KP Nuts, have launched a fan engagement campaign called 'Hit the Bullseye.' Fans can scan a QR code on promotional packs found in pubs and shops to enter a prize draw. More details about the campaign can be found at https://kpnutsfordarts.com/.
