Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, the world's top two darts players, claimed the World Cup of Darts with a commanding 10-5 victory over the Netherlands, filling the one gap in Littler's remarkable collection of seven major titles since November. What began as a partnership met with skepticism ended as a statement — that greatness, when it chooses to cooperate, can be something close to unstoppable.
