Eye-watering earnings of darts duo Luke Humphries and Luke Littler revealed
The English pair have raked in an incredible amount of cash over the past two trophy-laden years
Big-earners Luke Humphries and Luke Littler has raked in more than £3million in ranking prize money over two incredible years.
And the remarkable English duo have pocketed even more in terms of winning non-ranking cash as they storm through the game.
Humphries and Littler are headed to London's O2 looking to capture the BetMGM Premier League crown for 2025 and the chance to add more to their pots with £275,000 on offer to the winner of the showpiece which also includes Gerwyn Price and Nathan Aspinall. The World Cup-bound pair have scooped the game's major prizes through a stunning run with Humphries taking the crown as the highest-earning player over the past two years, securing over £1.6 million in ranking prize money.
Cool Hand also has monies to be added from non-ranking events such as Premier League nights, World Cups and World Series events. Littler can smash through the £1 million mark for 2025 alone in total earnings if he wins at the O2 with £60,000 secured for six nightly wins already added to his pot. Humphries has three nightly wins for £30,000 and both also have sets of £30,000 gold darts for hitting nine-darters.
WDF Professional and OLBG Darts Editor Matt Edgar commented: 'Thousands of darts fans will descend on London's O2 Arena on Thursday as the Premier League Finals take place. Fans are in for an enthralling night, as Luke Littler takes on Gerywn Price, while Luke Humphries faces a showdown against Nathan Aspinall, with all four players setting their sights on the lucrative prize money.'
'As a reward for making it to Thursday's final, all four semi-finalists are guaranteed to walk away with £85,000. However, the prize on offer for the winner is much more attractive. Thursday's prize purse will see the runner up take home £125,000, while the winner will scoop £275,000, which for Humphries and Littler, would add to their already impressive earnings over the past two years.'
'Both Humphries and Littler have been the standout players over recent years and both of their impeccable performances have made them the highest-earning players. Between the two, over £3 million in earnings have been secured combined, which goes to show how lucrative darts is becoming as its popularity continues to surge.'

Milner appeared to have gone a bit lighter on the sunscreen than he should have BURN-ING DESIRE James Milner shows off incredible physique aged 39 on beach with wife… but he needs to get out of the sun Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAMES MILNER showed off his tremendous physique as he hit the beach in Barbados.

Wife Amy Fletcher meanwhile had no such concerns as she worked up an impressive tan in a light green bikini. Milner has targeted playing into his 40s - a feat he is less than eight months away from achieving. He said: "I would like to keep playing,' said Milner, who will be 40 in January. "I look at my fitness now and I feel good. I've definitely got another year left in me. "We're in talks with the club and quite close so it will be nice to be here and be part of the team and help the boys. Hopefully I can be part of it." And with his impressive sixpack it was not difficult to see why he believes he has plenty of years left in the tank yet. But it was hard to miss the huge blotches of red across the 61-cap England star's chest and stomach.

Victor Griffith opens up on St Johnstone challenge as Panama recall has pre-season impact
St Johnstone midfielder, Victor Griffith, aims to make up for lost time with the Panama national team. The 24-year-old signed for Saints in January, and playing for his country after a couple of years out of the picture was one of his aims. Head coach, Thomas Christiansen, wanted to call him up in March but Griffith decided that his recovery from an ankle injury would be better served by staying in Scotland. Although his form for the Perth side wasn't as good after that lay-off than it was before, he was recalled for Panama's June World Cup qualifiers and the Concacaf Gold Cup that follows on. And, speaking to the media back home, Griffith has been positive about his first few months at McDiarmid Park, despite the fact Saints were relegated from the Premiership. He is currently in a training camp and is expected to be confirmed in Panama's official 26-man squad at the start of next week. It has been suggested that Griffith has a strong chance of getting game-time. And he is excited about the prospect of adding to his 10 caps now that the wait for a recall has ended. 'I have high expectations,' he said. 'I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. 'Right now, I'm focused on doing well, on my return to the national team, and I want to accomplish everything the coach asks of me. 'Expectations are high, and we're always going to want to win.' On the challenges Griffith has faced in Scotland, he reflected: 'Well, it was actually quite a big step, going from the Panama league to European football. 'That's rarely seen before. 'The truth is that it's helped me a lot. Since I arrived there, they've given me enormous confidence. 'I played in positions that weren't my usual ones. 'They opened up a window of positions where I could perhaps show off a bit better or do things differently.' Panama's busy schedule is likely to have an impact on Griffith being able to hit the ground running with Saints next season, however. The last time there was a Gold Cup, they went all the way through to the final. If they repeat that this time around, the tournament won't conclude for Griffith until July 7. Saints return for pre-season training on June 23.
