The PDC is on its Oceanic leg of the World Series of Darts and not everything has been smooth sailing for the players.

The long journey and the jet lag have played havoc with a whole host of players on the tour since they made the trip to Wollongong for the Australian Darts Masters.

That tournament’s champion Gerwyn Price claimed he feels ‘absolutely shattered’ and other darting greats agree with The Iceman.

Luke Littler is suffering in New Zealand

Luke Humphries revealed that Luke Littler confided in him that he’s struggling with the time zone difference.

Speaking to Online Darts, Humphires said: “I’m still acclimatising to the time zones. I’ve not slept the best, I must admit.

“It’s not just me, everyone has, Luke hasn’t we spoke the other day, Rob Cross hasn’t, Gezzy, all of us. Regardless of the darts I’ve really enjoyed it.”

Humphries won his first-round match against Kayden Milne and he will face Michael Smith in the quarterfinals.

Luke Humphries bizarre World Series record

The World No. 1 has had a terrific 2024 so far, picking up the World Championship and the World Matchplay.

That impressive run makes it even stranger that Cool Hand is still yet to pick up a World Series trophy in his entire career.

Humphries has failed to even reach a final of one of the six international events this season as they’ve been picked up by Michael van Gerwen, Littler, Price, and Cross.

The 29-year-old will be looking to break that curse at the New Zealand Darts Masters in Hamilton.
