Luke Humphries' reign as Premier League Darts champion is under threat, with the defending titleholder sitting outside the top-four play-off spots and only four regular weeks remaining. A convincing quarter-final defeat to Luke Littler has left Humphries stuck on 13 points, and he now faces an uphill battle to retain his title.
Sky Sports' Wayne Mardle believes time is running out for Humphries, who has yet to secure a nightly win in 2026. The world No 2 will need to win a couple of nights and hope other results go in his favor if he is to have any chance of catching up with the leaders.
Meanwhile, Jonny Clayton and Littler are dominating the table, with the top two spots still up for grabs. Clayton can confirm his place at the O2 with victory in his quarter-final against Gian van Veen, while Littler is determined to finish top once again.
The season-ending play-offs take place on May 28, with a bumper night at The O2 in London, and a total prize pot of £1.25 million.
