Teenage darts world champion Luke Littler has announced he will skip an upcoming PDC EuroTour (the Professional Darts Corporation's European tournament circuit) event in Maastricht after being relentlessly booed by audiences at two Dutch venues, including last weekend's World Series Finals in Amsterdam. The 19-year-old Englishman said he is reconsidering whether to play in the Netherlands at all, having faced similar hostility earlier this year in Rotterdam, where tensions with Dutch player Gian van Veen first turned crowds against him. PDC chief executive Matt Porter said he would be "very surprised" if Littler stopped competing in the country entirely, and noted that referees have the authority to address and eject misbehaving spectators, though commentator and players' association board member Jacques Nieuwlaat acknowledged that removing 1,500 booing fans is practically impossible.
