Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler has sparked debate over whether he is the most dominant sportsperson in the world after winning the World Matchplay Darts for the second consecutive year, defeating Gerwyn Price 18-9 in the final. Littler has won every PDC major title in 2026 so far. Sky Sports' Love The Darts podcast pundits Laura Turner and Chris Murphy discussed his dominance, comparing him to tennis world No. 1 Jannik Sinner and golf's Scottie Scheffler, concluding Littler is unmatched. Turner also highlighted the parallel dominance of women's darts star Beau Greaves, who won the Women's World Matchplay and has a 114-match winning streak. However, both pundits agreed Littler has not yet surpassed Phil Taylor as darts' greatest ever player, though he has the potential to do so.
