Qualifying for the PDC World Championships at the age of 16 was itself an accomplishment, but for British darts phenom @LukeTheNuke180, it was only the beginning. #ForbesUnder30 Europe: Sports & Games trib.al/Gw9TOE3
Forbes, best known for the lists of companies, entrepreneurs and wealthy people it compiles each year, has included Luke Littler in their prestigious "30 under 30," list for Europe which highlights the most influential sports and games people under the age of 30.
Littler has been included in the Forbes Under 30 Europe Class of 2024 along with notable names like English footballers Jude Bellingham and Alessia Russo, F1 driver Lando Norris and Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr. The 17-year-old Englishman has become truly world famous in a short time after his final place at the last World Darts Championship.
Since then, he made his full breakthrough within the PDC with final wins at the Bahrain Darts Masters and the Belgian Darts Open. In the Premier League Darts, he is in first place after ten nights of play.
Littler is also a frequent guest on various TV shows in Britain. For example, he was recently featured on "The Jonathan Ross Show" and last month was part of "Comic Relief," a show for charity.
'The Nuke' is also extremely popular on social media, with some 1.3 million fans, a following that continues to grow daily.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
