Luke Littler has hit out at hostile crowds ahead of the US Darts Masters in New York, questioning the point of paying for tickets only to boo. Speaking on the Ariel Helwani show, the teenage sensation opened up about his battle with negative reactions from fans.
“What’s the point in paying money for tickets and then coming to boo?” Littler said, expressing his frustration. The comments come as he prepares to compete in the US Darts Masters, where he has previously faced a mixed reception.
Littler’s remarks highlight the growing tension between players and sections of the crowd. The World Matchplay, which you can watch live on Sky Sports in Blackpool from July 18-26, is another major event where crowd behavior often comes under scrutiny.
