THE Hungarian Darts Trophy gets underway on Friday as the European Tour heads to Budapest.
Teenage sensation Luke Littler was looking to build on his stunning triumph at the World Series of Darts Finals last weekend.

The 17-year-old thrashed Michael Smith 11-4 to claim the title and the huge £80,000 jackpot in Amsterdam.
However, darts fans are distraught as Littler has now pulled out of the Budapest tournament.
Reigning Hungarian Darts Trophy champion Dave Chisnall is the No1 seed after he edged Humphires in last year’s epic 15-leg final, despite Cool Hand hitting his first TV nine-darter during the match.
