Luke Littler Becomes Youngest Ever PDC World Darts Champion
Luke Littler, the 17-year-old darts sensation, has made history by becoming the youngest ever PDC World Darts Champion after defeating three-time winner Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in a thrilling final at Alexandra Palace. Littler, who lost to Luke Humphries in last year’s final, avenged that defeat with a dominant performance, averaging 102.73 and showcasing his exceptional finishing skills.
The match began with Littler racing into a 4-0 lead, leaving Van Gerwen struggling to find his rhythm. Despite a late fightback from the Dutchman, Littler held his nerve to secure the victory, hitting double 16 to seal the win. The young star, who first picked up darts as a toddler, has now cemented his place among the sport’s greats.
Littler’s triumph has been hailed as the start of a new era in darts, with many comparing him to legendary figures like Phil Taylor. The teenager, who has already transcended the sport, has set his sights on breaking Taylor’s record of 16 world titles. His victory has also drawn praise from figures outside the sport, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and football legend David Beckham.
The win caps off a remarkable year for Littler, who has quickly become one of the sport’s biggest stars. With his Premier League Darts campaign set to begin in February, the future looks incredibly bright for the young champion.
