But his age means he is still unable to buy darts from a shop in the UK. It is illegal for retailers to sell him a set of arrows because they are classed as age-restricted items like knives. Shops face a fine of up to £5,000 if they sell darts to Littler or any youngster under 18.
Funnily enough, the brand of darts used by Littler are available to buy for consumers. Made by Target, Littler's sponsors, the 'Luke Littler G1 Prodigy SP' arrows retail for £129.95. Littler signed a multi-year deal with Target last year said to be worth millions of pounds.
He is the second-highest earner on Tour with his £500,000 jackpot at the worlds taking his overall earnings to £1.4m. Here is all the prize money Luke Littler has won so far after being crowned 2025 PDC World Darts Championship winner:. World Championship 2025 - £500,000.
