Predicting the top 16 players after the 2027 PDC Darts World Championship originally appeared on The Sporting News. Predicting the top 16 after the 2027 PDC Darts WCHere are my predictions four months out. Luke LittlerLittler, the current world number #1, will be the world #1 come January, no matter what happens at the WC. Luke HumphriesHumphries recently dropped down to world #3, as Gian van Veen passed the former world champion on the OoM. As I said with Wade, Clayton is another consistent enough player where he'll stay in a similar ranking range.
