**Traffic Woes Sideline Luke Littler from Key Championship** Luke Littler, the 18-year-old darts prodigy, was unable to compete in the penultimate Players Championship event of 2025 due to traffic delays. The event, PC33, took place at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan on Wednesday. Littler, who recently secured his first title of the season in PC32, announced on Instagram at 11:06 am that he would not be participating. He wrote, "Back to bed it is, wonder who they are gonna call up," accompanied by a laughing face emoji. The deadline for signing on for the event was set at 11 am, and Littler's late arrival meant he had to forfeit his place in the competition. His absence is part of a larger trend, as he is one of 12 players who have withdrawn from PC33 and the following event, PC34. Notable names such as Josh Rock, Gary Anderson, Gian van Veen, Jonny Clayton, and James Wade are also missing from the line-up. Despite this setback, Littler is still set to compete in the £600,000 Players Championship finals in Minehead next month. There were concerns about his qualification for the finals weekend after he dropped outside the top 64 prior to the latest series of events. However, he made a remarkable comeback in the last tournament, defeating several competitors including Dylan Slevin and Stephen Bunting, ultimately winning against Dennie Olde Kalter in the final of PC32. As the situation develops, updates, pictures, and videos will be provided to keep fans informed about Littler and the ongoing Players Championship events.
