Luke Littler Threatens to Boycott Dutch Darts Events After Hostile Crowd

World No. 1 Luke Littler has threatened to stop playing in the Netherlands after facing hostile crowds at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam. The 19-year-old was booed during wins against Danny Noppert and Nathan Aspinall, with officials pausing play to address the behavior. Littler, who has previously boycotted German events for similar reasons, stated he is '100%' prepared to withdraw from Dutch tournaments if the atmosphere does not improve. He lost to Jonny Clayton in the quarter-finals, ending his bid for a clean sweep of all major televised tournaments in 2026.
