Luke Littler's incredible numbers in his debut PDC year

Luke Littler completed his debut year with the PDC on Friday night with a first world title. The 17-year-old Englishman defeated Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final at Alexandra Palace.

Littler caused a stir at the 2024 World Darts Championship by reaching the final as a then 16-year-old without a PDC Tour Card. He eventually lost that one 7-4 to Luke Humphries. However, it was the beginning of a great year for "The Nuke.

Almost immediately after that World Cup final, he won the Bahrain Darts Masters, part of the World Series of Darts and his first ever title at the PDC. In the months that followed, there was no stopping the super talent either. With each month he won a title, with the Premier League Darts and the Grand Slam of Darts as absolute standouts.
