Jonny Clayton solidified his position at the top of the Premier League Darts standings with a 6-4 win over Luke Littler in the Rotterdam final. This marks Clayton's fourth nightly victory in the 2026 campaign, following his back-to-back successes in Brighton and now Rotterdam, in addition to his earlier wins in Glasgow and Nottingham. Clayton, known as 'The Ferret,' has all but secured his place at the Finals Night at The O2 in May, boasting a five-point lead at the top of the table with 29 points. Littler, in second place with 24 points, was unable to claim the victory despite making it to his fourth nightly final.
The night saw Littler initially facing a hostile crowd due to his earlier spat with Dutch world No 1 Gian van Veen, but he managed to silence them with his performance, including a 6-3 win over Gerwyn Price. Clayton's path to the final included a dominant 6-2 victory over Michael van Gerwen, ending the Dutchman's hopes of a home win, and a 6-5 win over Josh Rock in the semi-finals.
Littler's journey to the final included a tense 6-5 victory over Luke Humphries. The Premier League Darts continues every Thursday until May, with defending champion Luke Humphries seeking to climb the table and reach the finals night.
