Van Gerwen Edges Out Littler
In an exhilarating final in Berlin, Michael van Gerwen narrowly secured victory over the teenage sensation, Luke Littler, denying Littler his first Premier League season win.
The German capital witnessed an intense showdown that required a deciding leg to determine the winner.
Littler, a 17-year-old prodigy, found himself on the verge of victory but missed two match darts at double 10, providing Van Gerwen with an opportunity to capitalize.
Despite Van Gerwen’s initial failure to hit a bullseye, he clinched a 6-5 victory with a successful double four.
Van Gerwen’s Impressive Performance
The reigning champion and record seven-time Premier League champion, Michael van Gerwen, hailed the night as “fantastic” after a series of high-quality matches.

Luke Littler, despite missing out on victory in the final, showcased his talent with successive 6-5 wins over Rob Cross and Luke Humphries.

Hope for Future Encounters
