PDC World Rankings in full as Luke Littler and Luke Humphries battle for bragging rights
Luke Littler will soon have the opportunity to leapfrog Luke Humphries in the PDC World Rankings, and there's not much separating the duo with the World Championship fast approaching
Luke Littler and Luke Humphries are battling it out for darts' ultimate bragging rights. 'The Nuke' closed the gap at the top of the PDC Werner Rankings Ladder on Sunday after storming past his rival 6-1 in the World Grand Prix final.
Littler waltzed to victory in Leicester at the weekend, winning his fourth major title of the year following his triumphs at the World Championship, UK Open and World Matchplay. Not much separates the teenage sensation from Humphries, who's currently ranked first in the world.
In order to knock 'Cool Hand Luke' off his perch, Littler will have to bridge the £100,000 or so differential in earnings from ranking tournaments. With the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship on the horizon, the 18-year-old has the opportunity to claim top spot.
Speaking to reporters after beating Humphries in the World Grand Prix final, Littler outlined his plan to become world no. 1.
Last week, he said: "This is my time and I've got just got to keep going. Obviously, until I get that world number one spot, I will never call myself the best in the world. Whoever's number one, they're the best.
"But knowing I'm only £70,000 in prize money behind Luke, and then he's got to defend all of his prize money from the Grand Prix, the Players Championships and the World Championship.
"I don't want to think about it too much, but I could be world number one before that World Championship. I've just got to keep chucking away and put as much pressure as I can on Luke."
So, with that being said, Mirror Sport has listed the PDC World Rankings in full.
1. Luke Humphries – £1,736,250
Humphries will be hoping to reclaim his title as world champion later this year after famously defeating Littler in the final back in 2024. This year, he's won the World Masters, the Premier League, and the US Masters, as well as the Czech Darts Open.
2. Luke Littler – £1,665,500
Littler only needs to win the European Championship, the Players' Championship and the World Masters to complete a full set of major titles. While the reigning world champion has set his sights on world no.1, he's tasted defeat in each of his last two outings, losing to Beau Greaves in the World Youth Championship and to Ritchie Edhouse in the the first round of the Players Championship 31.
3. Michael van Gerwen – £726,250
Van Gerwen recently announced that he's 'recharging his batteries' ahead of the World Championships later this year. In an interview with Darts World, The Green Machine claimed that he wants to spend time with his family after a 'tough year'.
