Luke Littler Is A 17-Year-Old Dart Prodigy Who Is About To Takeover NYC This Weekend
Luke Littler has done more for darts by the age of 17 than I have ever done for any organization... And I am almost dead.
On top of just winning the Premier League Darts Championship a couple of weeks ago, Luke is also currently the PDC World Youth Champion, the current Bahrain Masters Champion, and the current Belgian Darts Open and Austrian Darts Open champion.
Here are a couple of records he owns...
- Youngest player to have won a match in the WDF World Darts Championship and PDC World Darts Championship.
- Youngest player to reach the PDC World Darts Championship final (at the age of 16).
- Youngest ever player to hit a televised nine-dart finish.
- Youngest to hit 2 televised nine darters; the first one he achieved, at the 2024 Bahrain Darts Masters aged 16, and the second, he achieved in the 2024 Premier League Darts final aged 17.
- And finally, Littler is the youngest ever to hit a broadcast nine-darter... At the age of 14 in 2021.
His feats have brought so many new eyes to the sport, that the PDC is considering moving the venue of their final to a larger arena.
But here's the thing... Nobody in the United States gives a fuck.
But here's another thing... They should.
That's because I have been going to darts at MSG for the past couple of years and it is a fucking GREAT event to watch live, and the competitors are VERY good-looking.
I mean, look at some of these majestic fucks... Like Michael "Mighty Mike" van Gerwen...
Vincent Van Der Voort, "The Dutch Destroyer"…
Rob "Voltage" Cross…
Andrew "Goldfinger" Gilding…
Martin "Smash" Lukeman…
And Mickey Mansell, "The Clonoe Cyclone"…

All of these elite competitors have one thing in common: Their physical appearances soak panties.
But enough about older, fatter, balder guys… I had darts' biggest phenom in HQ this week and set up a dart board so he could throw darts in between the fingers of my outstretched hand while he answers questions about a sport that should be more popular than fucking lacrosse.
Give it a watch up top, and/or get your ass to MSG this weekend to watch it in person… And bring your drinking shoes because it tends to get boozy. If you can't be there live, you can watch all the action on DAZN.
Take a report.
