Luke Littler is set to lose out on nearly half of his prize fund after Friday night's 2024 World Darts Championship final against Michael van Gerwen. Three-time champion Van Gerwen cruised through his semi final clash against Chris Dobey, beating the Englishman 6-1 and tonight he will be aiming to win his fourth title, having last lifted the Sid Waddell Trophy in 2019.

Teenage sensation Littler matched his final opponent's impressive win by recording his very own 6-1 victory over Stephen Bunting, registering a near unbeatable average of 105.48. This will be the 13th meeting between the pair in just 12 months and so far there is nothing to separate them. The newly establish rivals come into the blockbuster showdown tied 6-6 in their head-to-head meetings.

The winner will claim a £500,000 jackpot, while the runner-up picks up a comfy £200,000 pay day. Last year, Littler received the latter, after losing to Luke Humphries in the final. However, how much of these bonuses will the Brit actually keep after unavoidable tax laws?.
