The latest PDC form guide and Luke Littler stats point towards ‘The Nuke’ retaining the Eric Bristow Trophy and winning back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts titles.
Littler tops the current PDC form guide ahead of Dutchman Gian van Veen, with the 18-year-old eying success for the second time in as many years at the next PDC major in Wolverhampton.
Key Luke Littler Stats Prove He Will WIN 2025 Grand Slam of Darts
The 2025 Grand Slam of Darts field and draw has been confirmed for the next PDC major tournament, with 32 players of the world’s best darts players in action in Wolverhampton from Saturday, November 8 to Sunday, November 16.
This includes the likes of world number one Luke Humphries, three-time Grand Slam of Darts champion Michael van Gerwen and another three-time winner in the shape of Gerwyn Price.
Another man in action at the WV Active Aldersley is of course Luke Littler, who will go on to win back-to-back Grand Slam of Darts titles come next Sunday, judging by the latest statistics.
Littler has been somewhat of a dominant force since bursting onto the scene at the 2024 World Darts Championship. The 18-year-old has won multiple majors since, and all the stats point towards another victory in his next tournament for ‘The Nuke’.
The latest PDC form guide points towards a Littler victory in Wolverhampton, even more so after his success at the World Grand Prix and PC32 in October. However, the stats also show some other top players are hot on his heels.
Looking at Littler’s stats for the last 12 months, he leads the way in terms of averages, 180s hit, first nine-dart average, first three-dart average, legs with throw, legs against throw and even his treble-20 hit percentage. He is also the most prolific 171-180 hitter and most consistent 131-140 hitter with three darts.
Is it any wonder Littler is so dominant right now? All of these stats prove that ‘The Nuke’ is the best player in the world, even if that official title still belongs to Humphries (for now).
The reigning world champion has a healthy lead of 2.58 points in averages over Gian van Veen in their last 200 legs, as well as being the most consistent on the outer ring with 46.71% on the doubles.
‘The Nuke’ will be an incredibly difficult man to beat at the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts.
Luke Littler Stats Ahead Of 2025 Grand Slam of Darts
Luke Littler’s stats ahead of the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts, as provided by PDC analyst Christopher Kempf, show that he is an almost unbeatable force in world darts right now.
Don’t rule out Littler hitting yet another televised nine-dart finish in this tournament either, which would mark his ninth as a professional darts player. Not to mention the abundance of 170-checkouts he has hit, which fans are almost guaranteed to see in Wolverhampton.

Other Key Grand Slam of Darts Stats
Other key statistics and numbers ahead of the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts show that Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Josh Rock and Stephen Bunting could be Luke Littler’s nearest competitors in Wolverhampton.
Rock is eying his first major and has been knocking on the door plenty of late, but seems to keep falling at the final hurdle. Could the Northern Irishman turn his fortunes around and get his hands on the Eric Bristow Trophy? Perhaps.
‘Rocky’ is fourth behind Littler, Humphries and Bunting in terms of averages over the last 12 months, boasting a 98.17 average over the course of the last year. Humphries has a 98.19 rolling average for the last 12 months, making him a tough man to beat too.
Not to mention Bunting, whose 12 month rolling average is 98.24, second only to ‘The Nuke’. In terms of maximums, Littler has hit over 250 more than any of his competitors. That being said, some of the biggest 180 hitters behind him are in action at the WV Active Aldersley.
Female darts star Beau Greaves is the second most prolific 180 hitter over the course of the last 12 months, with Bunting, Chris Dobey, Gerwyn Price, Ross Smith, Gian van Veen and Rock not far behind her.
Gian van Veen leads the way in terms of the best checkout percentage, with the Dutchman boasting a 46.83% checkout rate across the last 12 months.
This means that on paper, all of the stats support a strong showing at the Grand Slam of Darts from the likes of three-time champion Price, Bunting, Rock, Humphries and perhaps even van Veen.
Whether or not the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts will play out this way entirely based on statistics remains to be seen of course.
Littler is on the brink of making Grand Slam of Darts history as he goes in search of back-to-back Eric Bristow trophies in Wolverhampton.
