LUKE LITTLER earns an astonishing £5,833 per week on average playing in the Premier League.
‘The Nuke’ has played the most matches in the tournament this season, racking up 26 matches in 12 weeks, earning £70,000 in the process.
Research by BetUK reveals Littler earns £2,692 per match and £288 per leg based on prize money alone.
Five-time major winner Littler has four weekly wins and one nine-darter, which comes with the bonus of a set of golden darts worth £30,000.
Teen sensation Littler became an instant success after his second-place finish in the World Championship 18 months ago, before then winning the Premier League on his first attempt in 2024.
Warrington whizkid Littler’s unique playstyle has seen him throw 180 some 128 times in his 26 Premier League matches.
That’s an average of 4.92 per game, almost double his nearest rival, Luke Humphries, who has thrown 69 for an average of 2.65.
Littler continues to throw 180s at an average rate of 10.67 per week, and he has already equalled his record of 128 in a season after just 12 nights.
He will surely surpass it this week in Birmingham and destroy his own record over the rest of the season.
The first 12 weeks have seen six different weekly winners and four nine-dart finishes, the latest winner being Gerwyn Price last week in Liverpool.
In terms of prize money, ‘The Iceman’ has now surpassed Littler when it comes to game-by-game earnings as he has earned £2,857 per game, but he has played five fewer matches than Littler, who still boasts higher total earnings.
World No. 1 Humphries has earned £50,000, but has played five more matches than Price.
‘Cool Hand’ averages £1,923 per match and £203 per leg.
