The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) has responded to comments made by Nathan Aspinall regarding the audience at the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters. Aspinall had expressed his belief that not all spectators were present voluntarily during the tournament.
The event kicked off recently with notable players like Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen, and Luke Humphries participating alongside Aspinall. Following his victory over Lourence Ilagan, Aspinall shared his impressions of the setting, noting the unique ambiance and the compact venue size.
In response to Aspinall’s remarks, the PDC clarified that all attendees were enthusiastic fans who had either purchased tickets or were invited guests. The organization emphasized the novelty of hosting a darts event in Saudi Arabia, acknowledging the distinct atmosphere compared to established darts tournaments in the UK and Europe.
World champion Luke Littler also commented on the event, highlighting the relatively subdued environment compared to his usual experiences. Despite the quieter setting, Littler managed to secure a win and expressed readiness for upcoming matches, acknowledging the need for a livelier atmosphere in future events.
