Luke Littler couldn’t replicate his debut success at the Players Championship being eliminated in the second round in Wigan. Despite hitting a nine-darter in his previous victory, the 17 years old lost 6-5 to Radek Szaganski.

Szaganski took a 5-3 lead but Littler leveled the score at 5-5 before Szaganski secured the deciding leg. Despite this loss, Littler expressed determination to qualify for the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix events.

Gary Anderson won Players Championship 2 defeating Ryan Searle 8-5 in the final. Anderson praised his performance throughout the tournament and expressed enthusiasm for upcoming events. Littler is set to participate in Premier League Darts on Thursday facing Price in Glasgow.
