Teen Prodigy Luke Littler Shakes Up World Darts Championship

At 16, Littler becomes the youngest player to win a match at the championship, earning praise from darts legend Phil Taylor.

16-year-old Luke Littler has become the youngest player to win a match at the World Darts Championship, beating Christian Kist and Andrew Gilding in his debut.
Littler, who has been playing darts since he was 18 months old, is being hailed as a potential future star of the sport, with 14-time world champion Phil Taylor predicting he could become 'one of the best players ever'.
Littler's average score of 106.12 in his debut match is the highest of any debutant at the World Darts Championship.
He will face Canadian Matt Campbell in the third round of the competition, which takes place from December 27-29.
Littler's youth gives him a unique advantage over his competitors, as he doesn't drink alcohol, allowing him to wake up without a hangover on match days.
