DARTS LEGEND TIPS LITTLER TO EARN MORE THAN £10MILLION
27/05/2025 By Aaron Nijjar
LEGEND Dennis Priestley believes Luke Littler should find it “simple” to earn more than £10million throughout his darts career.
‘The Nuke’ currently sits second in the PDC’s Order of Merit with career earnings of £1,300,500.
But this excludes prize money earnt from the likes of Premier League, World Series Finals, and the World Youth Championships.
Former World Champion Priestley admitted the teen sensation will earn more prize money than 87-time major winner Phil Taylor.
He said: “Luke Littler and several other young players will win more prize money than Phil Taylor ever did, by a long way.
“But getting to £100million like players in other sports will be some ask.
“Getting to £10million will be simple for Luke if he keeps his head down with the new £1million prize money, then he can go from there.”
However, Priestley also argued that Littler may not be able to dominate the game in the same fashion that Taylor did throughout his own incredible career.
He added: “I reckon there has been three or four players better than Phil in the game, but what none of them could do is dominate like he did for so long.
“Luke Littler is among those names talent wise, but dominating like Phil did for so long? I don’t think it can happen. What Phil did was incredible and we might not see that in the darts ever again.”
‘The Power’ won an illustrious 16 World Championships and multiple PDC Player of the Year awards to his name over a three-decade reign.
Stoke-on-Trent thrower Taylor will go down as one of the greatest to ever step up to the oche.
Warrington whizkid Littler is widely considered to be the next superstar in the sport, given his talent and list of achievements at such a young age.
The 18-year-old has racked up five major titles from seven finals thus far, dominated the 2024 Premier League, and tasted success twice at the World Series.
