Luke Humphries is the king of Leicester time and time again. He has won his third ProTour title at the Mattioli Arena and his fourth overall of 2026 alone; no other player has won more in a venue that often hosts the Players Championship series.

Humpphries won the World Grand Prix also just last month, and he continues to dazzle ahead of a busy business end to the season, including the Grand Slam of Darts next week, and he defeated Niels Zonneveld 8-4 in the final in the penultimate ProTour of the season.

Humphries does it again!

One that saw a lot of familiar faces in the back end of the event and scores to settle ahead of Minehead, one place that Humphries compared to some of his rivals will be at as he likely heads towards signing off his ProTour campaign if he doesn't play tomorrow.

Humphries had a tough run in towards the final as he saw off Gary Anderson in the semi-finals, averaging close to 105. While he defeated Gerwyn Price before that 6-2 with a 92 average.
