Luke Littler made a breakthrough with a bang a year ago when, as a World Championship debutant, he reached the final. He lost it to Luke Humphries.
Then, an incredible journey began, making Littler a superstar, more googled in the UK than the king and the prime minister.
In competitive terms, he has taken title after title.
In the World Championship final, there was never any doubt about the outcome. Littler took a 4–1 lead, which then became a 7–3 victory.
I've said in interviews that I needed a good start, and I got it. After 2–0, I started getting nervous, but I told myself to relax, says Littler to Sky Sports.
Michael van Gerwen was, before tonight's World Championship final, the youngest winner of the dart World Championship when he won in 2014 at the age of 24. He has since taken two more, the latest in 2019.
Luke Littler, clearly breaks the youngest record. The 17-year-old still lives with his parents, celebrates his victories with kebab, and spends his free time playing video games, among other things.
He started with darts at a very young age. There is video evidence that he was already throwing darts at 18 months old, wearing diapers. And at the age of four or five, the darts were made of steel, and he was throwing from a competitive distance.
Littler was 14 years old when he took his first senior title, the Irish Open 2021.
