Luke Littler Withdraws from Hungarian Darts Trophy

Luke Littler, the 17-year-old darts prodigy, has withdrawn from the Hungarian Darts Trophy, leading to speculation that his absence is linked to the early access release of the EA FC 25 video game. While officially citing a packed schedule ahead of the World Championship, Littler's playful social media response, 'What a coincidence,' has fueled rumors of a gaming break. He recently ended a 15-match unbeaten streak, prompting a need for a short hiatus. Littler, who has won nine titles this year and racked up £625,000 in prize money, has openly expressed his passion for gaming in the past. His comments regarding spending winnings on Ultimate Team packs further highlight his dedication to gaming. The young star is expected to return to competitive play soon at the Swiss Darts Trophy.
