It was an emotional, and seemingly inevitable, weekend for teenage darts phenom Luke Littler. The 17-year-old defeated Michael van Gerwen, one of the game’s greatest players, 7-3 in the PDC World Darts Championship final on Friday night to become the youngest world champion in the history of the sport.

The field for this year’s Premier League Darts has been announced, with eight players set to battle it out over 16 weeks before finals night in London. Luke Littler won the event on debut last year and it was a sign of more success to come as he has begun 2025 with his first World Championship title.
