Humphries also won the 2023 World Grand Prix and 2023 Grand Slam of Darts.
Luke Humphries was born on 11 February 1995 in Newbury, Berkshire and grew up there, later moving to Crewe, Cheshire. [2] [3] [4]
His father, a Leeds United FC fan, named him Luke as an acronym for "Leeds United, Kings of Europe". Humphries is also fan of the team. [5] He is of Irish descent through his maternal grandfather. [6]
Humphries started playing darts in his teens, playing for Berkshire county darts, then moving onto Wiltshire county darts before leaving to join the PDC.
He previously worked as a roofer, retiring in 2018 to pursue darts full-time. [7]
Humphries won five PDC Development Tour titles in 2017, finishing top of the Development Tour Order of Merit. [8] As a result of this, he qualified for the 2018 PDC World Darts Championship where he lost to Jeff Smith, and received a PDC Tour Card for the 2018 and 2019 season.
Humphries won the Development Tour Order of Merit in 2019, a year which culminated in a fantastic run at the 2019 World Championship for Humphries. He beat Adam Hunt, Stephen Bunting, Dimitri Van den Bergh, and defending champion Rob Cross, before eventually losing 1–5 to Michael Smith in the quarter-finals.
Following Gary Anderson's withdrawal from the 2019 Premier League, Humphries was selected as one of nine 'contenders' to replace him. He played a one-off match against Gerwyn Price on night four in Exeter.
At the age of 24 Humphries won the 2019 PDC World Youth Championship, where he beat Adam Gawlas 6–0. [9]
In the 2020 World Championship, Humphries once again reached the quarter-finals before losing 3–5 to eventual champion Peter Wright.
