Luke Littler's PDC Development Tour Disqualification

Luke Littler, the 18-year-old darts prodigy and youngest World Darts Champion, has expressed doubt about surpassing Phil Taylor's record of 16 world championships due to potential early retirement plans before his fifties. Despite achieving significant success, including winning the Premier League and the World Championship, Littler was recently knocked out by Gerwyn Price in the Players Championship quarter-finals with a decisive 8-7 victory. Littler's rise to second in the PDC Order of Merit, with over £1.1 million in winnings, disqualified him from the PDC Development Tour, where he previously excelled. However, Littler continues to demonstrate exceptional skill, as seen in his performance at the World Masters, though he was ultimately bested by Jonny Clayton. Despite setbacks, Littler remains a formidable presence in the darts scene, with ambitions to win every major tournament at least once.
