Barry Hearn, president of the Professional Darts Corporation, has warned top players to adapt as a new wave of talent emerges, led by young players like Luke Littler. He suggests that established players may need to rethink their approach to stay competitive. Hearn also discussed the future of the World Darts Championship, indicating a potential move from Alexandra Palace due to high demand for tickets.
