DARTS star Luke Humphries engaged in a heated discussion with snooker legend Shaun Murphy after suggesting that achieving a nine-darter is more challenging than completing a 147 maximum break.

Humphries and Murphy were among the athletes featured in Paddy Power’s Perfect Challenge.

Two darts players, two snooker players, and two golf competitors gathered to resolve a long-standing question: which achievement is the most challenging—hitting a hole-in-one, scoring a 147 break, or throwing a nine-darter?

According to the current world darts champion Humphries, for a beginner, completing a 147 will be the hardest task.

Nonetheless, he claimed that for an experienced player, landing a nine-darter is a bigger challenge.

The world No. 1 remarked: “If you hand someone a set of darts, a snooker cue, and a golf club, I think they’d achieve a hole-in-one the easiest, followed by a nine-darter, and then the 147. That’s the most difficult of all.”

“But a professional player understands all the angles in snooker.”

Murphy, a former world snooker champion, could be heard laughing before replying, “I had no idea you were a comedian. A 147 is more difficult than a nine-darter.”

Humphries answered, “What’s so amusing about that? Did you listen to what I said? I pointed out that as a professional, knowing the angles makes it appear simple.”

“Considering legs and frames, there are more people who achieve 147s than those who score nine-darters.”

Murphy then responded, “Well, that doesn’t mean it’s easier.”

The uncomfortable exchange concluded with Humphries replying quickly, “I never claimed it was easier.”
