Read our privacy policy Luke Littler has wasted little time targeting a record breaking 2025, just days after his stunning victory in the World Darts Championship. The Warrington teenager, who turns 18 on January 21, made history at Alexandra Palace last week by becoming the youngest-ever winner of the World Darts Championship, surpassing his opponent Michael van Gerwen’s record of winning it at 24 against Peter Wright in 2014. “If I can go back to back, it’d mean the world,” Littler, who hit a nine-darter in last year’s Premier League final against Luke Humphries, told Sky Sports. “But I will just have the same mindset going into it, if you make the play-offs, that’s all that matters and just give it your all at the O2.” His nine-darter in the Premier League was one of four recorded by ‘The Nuke’ in 2024, equalling Gerwyn Price’s record of nine-darters in 2022 and, as he admits, he would have relished breaking that record at the Worlds.
