Premier League Darts star admits he may step AWAY from the sport
Apr 6, 2025
One of the best darts stars says playing so much is not good for him mentally
He admitted he finds playing a 'chore' despite his remarkable rise and success
It comes as rewards and status for darts players increase - as does the pressure
One of the world's foremost darts players has revealed he may take a 'break' from the sport after admitting playing so much 'is not good' for his 'mental state'.
The recent World Championship winner has a packed schedule and has admitted playing feels like a 'chore' and leaves him 'emotionless'.
It comes as leading darts stars are becoming more open about the taxing demands of the sport's calendar, which sees them turn out in multiple locations per week.
The rewards and celebrity are becoming ever greater - Luke Littler claimed £500,000 for winning the World Championship and in 2026 the top prize will increase to £1million - but so are the pressures.
And it is Luke Humphries, who won last year's World Championship, who has opened up about how drained the sport has left him in an emotional statement.
'When I'm up on stage I am just feeling emotionless. It's and it's me being honest to all the fans. I feel like my emotions are just all over the place,' he said.
'It's not that I don't want to be here - it just seems a chore for me at the moment. It's just too much darts. I'm playing too much.
