Overview
- The 18-year-old beat Luke Humphries 16-11 in Wolverhampton to stay unbeaten at the event and join Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price as back-to-back champions.
- His semi-final win over Danny Noppert had already guaranteed he would overtake Humphries on the PDC Order of Merit as the youngest No. 1 in history.
- Littler’s surge featured 167 and 160 checkouts and five breaks of throw, while Humphries had earlier edged Gerwyn Price 16-13 in the semi-finals.
- The final was their sixth major title match, leaving their major-final head-to-head level at 3-3 as both said they are in a league of their own.
- Attention turns to Alexandra Palace from December 11 to January 3, with Humphries declaring war to reclaim No. 1 and Littler’s 2025 earnings reported near £1.85m after the £150,000 prize.
