Peter Wright has big plans for the new year. After the last 18 months were rather difficult and culminated in a second round exit from the Darts World Championship against Jim Williams, the Scot is heading into 2024 highly motivated.
And Wright is taking an unusual path. “I gave up all my trophies and all my darts so I can start again. “I want to collect new trophies this year,” said “Snakebite” before the Bahrain Darts Masters 2024, where he fought against the PDC Asian champion Haruki Muramatsu on Thursday for a place in the quarter-finals – and narrowly won 6:5.
“Snakebite” primarily uses the outstanding performances of Luke Humphries and Luke Littler at the recent World Cup as motivation to attack again in the coming months.
“I watched the World Cup after I was eliminated and Luke Littler and Luke Humphries inspired me with their performance,” the 53-year-old explained: “Especially Luke Humphries with what he has won in the last four months. “It proves what you can achieve if you work hard.”
After his smooth World Cup defeat at Alexandra Palace in London, the two-time world champion slipped to eighth place in the PDC Order of Merit – his lowest ranking in a decade.
“Prodigy” Littler is particularly interested in the “bird of paradise”. “Luke Littler is the best thing I’ve ever seen on TV! That’s why he inspired me to attack again.”
Littler, just 16 years old, had caused a stir at the World Championships and stormed to the final, where he lost to favorite Humphries. In the Premier League of Darts, the two stars will be seen LIVE on TV every matchday from February 1st SPORT1). Let’s see whether Wright has found his form again by then and can stand up to the new shooting star.
