Luke Littler named Young Sports Personality of the Year after ‘changing’ darts Darts sensation Luke Littler has won the 2024 BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award.
Littler’s Premier League success made him the youngest ever winner of a PDC title, and his victory last month at the prestigious Grand Slam of Darts made him just the fourth player in history to win 10 trophies in one season.
Finishing as runner-up to Luke Humphries, the historic run made Littler one of the most talked-about teenagers in Britain and he subsequently went on to be crowned Premier League champion and win the Grand Slam of Darts.
Asked about inspiring people, he said: “I know the amount of academies that have been brought up in different locations, how big the sport has got, tickets selling out for Ally Pally (Alexandra Palace, for the ongoing World Championship) in hours, and the Premier League, they sold out quick as well.
Littler was also second in the voting for the main sports personality prize at the end of a year which began with him, aged 16, becoming the youngest player to reach the final of the PDC World Championship.
