Let $D_{k}$ be a set with $k$ distinct elements of integers such that $d_{1}<d_{2}<\cdots<d_{k}$. We say $D_{k}^{*}$ is a $k$-tuple prime difference champion ($k$-tuple PDC) for primes $\le x$ if the set $D_{k}^{*}$ is the most probable differences among $k+1$ primes up to $x$. Unconditionally we prove that the $k$-tuple PDCs go to infinity and further have asymptotically the same number prime factors when weighted by logarithmic derivative as the porimorials. Assuming an appropriate form of the Hardy-Littlewood Prime $k$-tuple Conjecture, we obtain that the $k$-tuple PDCs are infinite square-free numbers containing any large primorial as factor when $x\rightarrow \infty$.
