Luke Littler Advances to World Darts Final

Luke Littler, at just 17, has become a sensation in the darts world, making back-to-back PDC World Darts Championship finals and amassing over £1 million in winnings in a year. His remarkable journey began early, with darts legend John Lowe attributing Littler's success to his early start at 18 months old and the support of his family, rather than natural talent. As he prepares to face Michael van Gerwen for the title, Littler reflects on a whirlwind year that has included multiple championship victories and winning BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year. Despite his fame, he remains grounded, admitting he has no backup plan and would simply return to college if necessary. After last year's final, which garnered the largest non-football audience in Sky Sports history, he escaped to a secret location in Wales to cope with the pressures of newfound stardom and is ready to do so again if needed. Littler's rise has not only transformed his own life but has also had a significant impact on the sport of darts itself.
