The final match turned out to be tense: Littler was losing at certain stages of the game but managed to change the course of the match and make an impressive comeback. In the semifinals of the tournament, he also experienced a tense moment when he saved himself from defeat in a match against Gerwyn Price.
This victory earned him £100,000 in prize money and became the 11th significant title in the PDC player's career. Now, to complete the full set of ranking awards, he only needs to win the European Championship.
After the match, Humphries described Littler as "the greatest player," but Littler himself believes it is too early to talk about legendary status, as it requires breaking Phil Taylor's records.
The rivalry between them will continue in the 2026 season: Humphries plans to reclaim his position at the top of the world rankings.
