Luke Littler is an English professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation events.
In the darts world, there may not have ever been a more meteoric rise in a player than that of Luke Littler. The Warrington-born Spears sensation is already, despite his age, one of the sport’s fiercest competitors.
His list of insane records is nothing short of ludicrous. Littler is the youngest player to have won a match in the WDF World Darts Championship and PDC World Darts Championship, he is the youngest player to reach the Worlds final and and the youngest ever player to hit a televised nine-dart finish at the 2024 Bahrain Darts Masters. This is all at the humble age of 16, might we add.
