Luke Littler continues to make history in the world of darts. With his victory on Nov. 16, 2025, where he won the Grand Slam of Darts for the second time in his career, the young Englishman reached a milestone: his 20th PDC title. An achievement in itself - but especially special because only 667 days elapsed between his very first and his 20th title.

The story begins on Jan. 19, 2024, when Littler won the Bahrain Darts Masters in spectacular fashion. It was the official starting point of an unprecedented sprint through professional darts. What takes many players years, sometimes even an entire decade, Littler accomplished in less than two years: growing from talented newcomer to one of the most formidable players on the PDC circuit.
Title number 10: the first Grand Slam of Darts
On Nov. 17, 2024, exactly one year before his 20th title, Littler took his 10th PDC title, also at the Grand Slam of Darts. With that tournament, he confirmed his position in the absolute top. Even then, the darts world spoke of a new superstar who would possibly dominate the stage for years to come.
That exactly 12 months later Littler would win his 20th title at that very same tournament makes the story even more special. The Grand Slam of Darts, meanwhile, seems to have become a "Littler tournament" - a stage on which he proves again and again why he is seen as the greatest promise since the birth of modern darts.
There are 667 days between the Bahrain Darts Masters (1st title) and the November 2025 Grand Slam of Darts (20th title). Not only does this show his unprecedented consistency, it underscores the almost historic speed with which Littler is approaching - and sometimes already breaking - record after record. Where most players need years to build their list of honors, Littler has already risen to become one of the very best players in just two years.

What does this mean for the future?
If Littler manages to continue this streak, the darts world faces an era in which the youngest champion ever may also become the most successful ever. His development seems far from complete, and his hunger for titles seems greater than ever.
Therefore, the next question is not if, but when Littler will break another magical barrier. One thing is certain: Littler also starts this weekend's Players Championship Finals as the absolute top favorite, where he will take on Jeffrey de Graaf in the opening round. Last year, Littler lost 11-7 to Luke Humphries in the final.
