Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis back darts Royal Rumble idea after Netflix’s Beat Luke Littler success

Phil Taylor believes the introduction of a darts Royal Rumble would be good for the sport’s ‘boring’ current schedule. It follows calls for the unique format to be put into practice after Netflix’s Beat Luke Littler aired on Friday. The show saw the world No.1 face amateur players for the chance to win £501,000. Fallon Sherrock ultimately claimed the prize after becoming the first player to beat Littler in a single leg of 501. Darts fans are now keen to see 30 mystery players compete in a last-man standing-style event similar to WWE’s Royal Rumble .
