Phil Taylor gives verdict on Luke Littler surpassing his record 16 world titles Phil Taylor has not ruled out Luke Littler surpassing his record stockpile of 16 world titles - because he’s got a 13-year head start.
But Littler conquered the globe at 17 when he beat Michael van Gerwen to become the youngest darts world champion in history, and Taylor says time is on Luke the Nuke’s side if he wants to become the greatest player of all time.
When people ask how many world titles he can win, don’t forget he has all the time in the world if he wants it.
The ‘Power’ was almost 30 years old when he landed the first of his world championship crowns in 1990 by demolishing his mentor Eric Bristow in the final.
The Power was 52 when he wore the PDC World Championship crown for the last time in 2013 - also against Van Gerwen, who was a rising star at 23.
