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.'
