After 26 of the 34 Players Championships in 2026, Luke Littler is yet to attend any, leaving himself in a precarious position in terms of qualifying for the Players Championship Finals in November.
As it stands, the cut-off if £25,500, which leaves the projected cut-off at exactly £31,500.

In order to reach this number, Littler will have to win two titles (£15,000 each), plus another match. Without titles, it looks a lot bleaker, with a minimum of 3 finals needed, or two with multiple other deep runs.
Eight events left, two in Leicester, two in Den Bosch. Littler has now confirmed he will be in Leicester this week and will attend the first block of two in Den Bosch should he win the World Series of Darts Finals the weekend prior. He will then return to Leicester for the final two events if necessary. This means he has six events to rack up £31,500.
