17-Year-Old Luke Littler Becomes Global Sensation at Darts World Championship

The teenage prodigy, nicknamed 'The Nuke,' dominates headlines as he pursues the Sid Waddell Trophy and a record-breaking title in London.

Luke Littler, a 17-year-old British darts player, has captured global attention at the 2025 Darts World Championship in London.
Nicknamed 'The Nuke,' Littler is vying to become the youngest world champion in darts history, with the winner set to claim £500,000 and the prestigious Sid Waddell Trophy.
Littler's rapid rise has drawn comparisons to Lionel Messi, with his name trending higher on UK search engines in 2024 than football stars Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham.
Despite his success, Littler has shown signs of feeling the pressure, cutting short a post-match interview after his latest victory in the tournament.
If Littler advances, he could face defending champion Luke Humphries in a highly anticipated semifinal showdown on January 2, alongside other top contenders like Michael van Gerwen.
