Overview
- The teenager routed Gian van Veen 7-1 at Alexandra Palace to successfully defend the world title.
- His two-year PDC ranking total stands around £2.77–£2.8m, a sport-first that reinforces his position at world No 1.
- UK coverage suggests the £1m prize will be subject to additional-rate income tax plus National Insurance, likely cutting the payout by nearly half.
- He plans a brief rest before World Series events in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia this month, then a short Dubai trip for his 19th birthday.
- Littler says he will only treat himself to some football trading cards and keep his current BMW, as analysts laud his talent but urge patience on Phil Taylor comparisons.
