🚨EXCL🚨 @sportslens_ can reveal that World Darts Championship sponsors Paddy Power will have to tone down their celebrations after tonight's final due to the age of teenage sensation Luke Littler, even if the 16-year-old doesn't win. sportslens.com/uk/news/exclus…
Presence of teen sensation Luke Littler in World Championship final prompts ceremonial adjustments
PDCWednesday, 03 January 2024 at 20:00
World Darts Championship sponsor Paddy Power ran a nice advertising campaign during the World Darts Championship, but the betting firm was forced to step back Wednesday night around the final between Luke Littler and Luke Humphries.
That all has to do with the fact that finalist Littler is only sixteen years old, writes the website Sports Lens. At 16, Littler is by far the youngest finalist ever in World Darts Championship history.
Because Littler is not yet eighteen, Paddy Power will not have representatives on the podium to present prizes, regardless of whether the teenager wins or not.
No Paddy Power logos will be seen on the winners and runners up trophies and the winning cheques will be presented by a member of the PDC. The betting giant also will not post any images or videos of Littler due to legal restrictions.

- 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.
