Who is Luke Littler?

Luke Littler is the reigning world youth champion of darts whose nickname is “The Nuke”.

He has had a meteoric rise to fame thanks to his impressive performances at the 2023 PDC World Darts Championships at Ally Pally.

Luke was born on January 21, 2007, in the English town of Runcorn.

He later moved to Warrington, Cheshire with his family, where he would play darts in pubs.

Littler has a sister called Caitlin and a brother called Harry and his parents are Anthony and Lisa Bates.

He has been interested in darts from a very early age, with Littler telling the BBC that he has ben playing on a “proper board” since he was four.

In August 2023, even before this year’s PDC World Darts Championship, Littler discussed his success in the sport.

He admitted: “I still can’t believe it. I have surprised myself.

“At the start of the year, my ambition was to win one Development Tour title, and I’ve won five.

“I knew I had the ability to beat the best players on the Development Tour, and I’ve beaten quite a few Tour Card holders — Dylan Slevin, Danny Jansen, Lewy Williams, Keane Barry.

“It is unbelievable. Now I’ve got my Tour Card, I can’t wait to prove what I can do on the big stages”.

As of January 2, 2024, Luke has won £100,000 at the 2024 PDC World Championship.

PeopleAI.com currently puts Litter’s career earnings at around $358,000 (£280,000).

This will increase dramatically if Littler does make it through to the final as he will bag himself a £200k prize.

Littler has spoken about what he plans to do with his big winnings from Ally Pally.

The teen told talkSPORT that he plans to take his friends on a trip to Blackpool or Alton Towers.

He said he may also put the money towards driving lessons.

PR expert Mark Borkowski told SunSport that if Littler’s astonishing success continues, there could be millions of pounds in his future.

He also said he could become the “Wayne Rooney of darts”, saying: “If he is not a one hit wonder and has 30 years ahead then the sky is the limit”.

What was Luke Littler’s rise to fame?

Although Littler was already well known as a bright talent within darts circles, it was at the 2023/24 PDC World Championships where he really found fame.

The youngster had one of the greatest debuts in the history of the sport, beating Christian Kist in the first round.

This triumph saw Littler become the youngest winner of a match at the tournament and record the highest average (106.12) for a player making his debut at Ally Pally.

The teenager then went a step further by beating No 20 seed Andrew Gilding and became one of the favourites to win the tournament.

He then blew away Canadian Matt Campbell 4-1, dropping only six legs out of 20.

Littler made it through to the semi-finals of the tournament on New Year’s Day, 2024.

He beat veteran Brendan Dolan and celebrated by sharing a kiss with his girlfriend Eloise.

Littler was born in January 2007, meaning he will turn 17 in January 2024.

He is already one of the best darts players in the world in spite of his tender age, and no doubt has an exciting future ahead of him.
