Luke Littler has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of darts since reaching the final of the World Darts Championship earlier this year, and he shows no signs of slowing down any time soon
Luke Littler is on track to become a millionaire by the age of 18, according to former PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.
Nicknamed 'The Nuke', Littler has amassed an impressive £364,500 in tournament winnings as per the PDC's Order of Merit, placing him 21st in the rankings. This figure does not include his earnings from non-ranked events, which include £315,000 from the Premier League, £80,000 from his World Series of Darts titles success, and other non-ranked tournaments.
"There is darts players out there already earning well over £1million - £2million per year as it is. That is where the sport has got to and for Luke and the sport, it is only just the beginning. We've got opportunities to commercially expand that sport, and the joy when these kids faces. Following a setback at the world championship, Littler bounced back to triumph at the Bahrain Darts Masters in January. His remarkable run continued in the Premier League, where he topped the table and went on to defeat Luke Humphries on finals night.
