Nathan Aspinall made history on Sunday night in Göttingen, capturing his first-ever European Tour title at the European Darts Trophy. But this victory was more than just another tournament win—it cemented his place among the most versatile champions in PDC history.
A Historic Feat
By defeating Ritchie Edhouse (6-5), Jermaine Wattimena (6-5), Luke Humphries (6-1), Gary Anderson (7-6), and Ryan Joyce (8-4) on his way to glory, Aspinall became only the second player ever to win titles across all five major PDC circuits:
✅ Development Tour
✅ Challenge Tour
✅ Players Championship
✅ World Series
✅ PDC Major
This incredible journey began in 2015 when Aspinall clinched his first Development Tour title, followed by a Challenge Tour victory in 2017. In 2018, he secured his first Players Championship title, before making a name for himself on the big stage with a UK Open triumph in 2019, his first PDC major. That same year, he also lifted the US Darts Masters, marking his World Series debut.
Fast forward to 2023, Aspinall achieved another career highlight by winning the World Matchplay, further solidifying his reputation as one of the sport’s elite competitors. Now, with his latest success in Göttingen, he joins an exclusive club—one previously occupied by only one man.
Humphries Still Leads the Way
The only other player to have conquered all five circuits is Luke Humphries. However, the world number one boasts an even more dominant resume:
🏆 1 Challenge Tour title
🏆 11 Development Tour titles
🏆 7 European Tour titles
🏆 4 Players Championship titles
🏆 1 World Series title
🏆 8 Major titles, including the 2024 World Championship
While Aspinall has now joined Humphries in this historic achievement, the latter remains ahead in terms of accolades.
What’s Next?
With the European Tour season in full swing, Aspinall’s victory not only secures his place in the European Championship but also strengthens his credentials for the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix.
Can “The Asp” build on this momentum and add more silverware to his growing collection? Or will Luke Littler, Humphries, and the rest of the field step up to challenge his rise?
