Overview
- The 18-year-old arrived too late to register for Players Championship 33, which required on-site check-in by 11 a.m. local time.
- A collision on the M6 near Wigan caused a full closure and helicopter response, with one man reported dead.
- Littler acknowledged the tragedy on Instagram and offered condolences after earlier lighthearted posts during the delay.
- He sits 35th on the Players Championship Order of Merit with £36,000 and had already qualified for the Finals in Minehead on 21–23 November.
- In his absence Chris Dobey won the event, and Littler remains eligible for subsequent Players Championship tournaments in Wigan this week.
