Luke Littler cemented his status as a rising star in the darts world by winning the 2024 World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam, defeating Michael Smith 11-4 in the final. The 17-year-old, who has already won titles in Bahrain and Poland this year, also beat Michael van Gerwen and Chris Dobey en route to his latest triumph. Littler's impressive performance included an average of 102.21 and secured him an £80,000 prize. Despite his successes, darts legend Phil Taylor has cautioned that the demanding travel schedule of the PDC tour could be a significant challenge for the young star. Taylor, who is set to retire soon, emphasized that managing the physical and logistical demands of professional darts is crucial for Littler's sustained success.
