Luke Littler's record streak continues - Every month good for a tournament win

Luke Littler reached the semifinals at the World Darts Championship early this year. Since then, the career of the still only 17-year-old Englishman has only been improving.
Littler lost in the World Championship final to Luke Humphries in early January of this year, but he did not mourn that missed opportunity for long. That same month at the Bahrain Darts Masters, part of the World Series of Darts, he recorded his first major tournament victory at the PDC.
Not much later, Littler was also the best at the first Players Championship of the year, where he was too strong for Ryan Searle in the final 8-7. A month later, "The Nuke" also won the first tournament of the European Tour. In Wieze, he defeated Rob Cross 8-7 in the final of the Belgian Darts Open. Thus, the English prodigy had immediately won a tournament every month in his first three months at the PDC.

He also managed to pick up his tournament victory in April. In the final of the Austrian Darts Open, the fifth tournament of the European Tour 2024, he defeated Joe Cullen 8-4.
First major title
Littler took the crown in May by winning the Premier League Darts, his first major title. In a replay of the World Cup final, he did manage to win this time over Luke Humphries. But Littler did not rest on his laurels after that first major title by any means. A month later he recorded his second tournament victory at the World Series of Darts 2024. In the final of the Poland Darts Masters, he defeated Cross 8-3.

Despite a disappointing debut at the World Matchplay (first-round defeat to Michael van Gerwen), Littler also managed to record a tournament victory in July. Indeed, he was the best at the fifteenth Players Championship, where he defeated Wessel Nijman 8-6 in the final.
And just recently he continued his string of success at the World Series of Darts Finals by beating Michael Smith 11-4 in the final. The sky seems to be the limit for Littler, who is aiming for even more success in the coming months.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
