The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) has addressed concerns raised by Nathan Aspinall regarding the audience at the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters. As the tournament kicked off, notable players like Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen, and Luke Humphries participated alongside Aspinall.
Following his victory over Lourence Ilagan, Aspinall shared his thoughts on the event’s ambiance, suggesting that not all attendees seemed fully engaged. Despite the smaller venue, he acknowledged the need to start somewhere in building the darts scene.
In response to Aspinall’s remarks, the PDC affirmed that all spectators were enthusiastic fans, emphasizing that this marked a new experience for many in the region. They highlighted the diverse atmosphere compared to established darts events in the UK and Europe.
Apart from Aspinall’s observations, reigning world champion Luke Littler also remarked on the comparatively subdued atmosphere, expressing surprise at the quieter setting. Despite the difference, he managed to secure a win and anticipates the upcoming matches with adjusted expectations.
