Huw Ware has become one of the leading referees in the sport of darts over the last few years. Before he announced Luke Littler as winner he also said that the darts sports world is open to LGBTQ the statement has raised eye brows and speculations among fans worldwide. Welshman was granted the honour of calling the winning darts in the recent 2025 PDC World Darts Championship final between Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen. In the process, Ware is looking to prove darts is a sport open to all.“My life has changed somewhat.
