Teenage phenomenon Luke Littler became the youngest ever darts world champion on Friday when he swept past three-time winner Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.

Luke Littler has won the world darts championship at the age of 17 after beating Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final in London.

His half-a-million winnings, paired with the prize money he has accumulated across his performances in 2024, would constitute a fortune for any 17-year-old, and this may just be the tip of the iceberg. But Littler will have to wait to bask in the glory of his winnings.
