World darts champion Luke Littler misses tournament after being caught in traffic
Darts star Luke Littler has missed Wednesday's Players Championship event because he got caught in a traffic jam and missed the registration deadline.
The 18-year-old world champion, who is ranked second in the world, had to register for the tournament in Wigan by 11am, but failed to make the strict cut-off after getting stuck in road congestion. The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) confirmed his absence from the competition, Sky Sports said.
Wednesday and Thursday's Players Championship events are the last two tournaments for players to secure places in the season-ending Players Championship finals, held in Minehead next month. Littler, nicknamed 'The Nuke', has already qualified for the finals after winning Players Championship 32 earlier this month.
He can still compete in Thursday's event, as long as he registers before 11am on the day, as it is a separate event. The teenager appeared unfazed by the setback, sharing a picture from inside the car to his Instagram story alongside the caption "back to bed it is, wonder who they're going to call up?.
