LUKE LITTLER earns an astonishing £7,000 per week on average playing in the Premier League.
‘The Nuke’ has played the most matches in the Premier League this season, racking up 23 matches in 10 weeks, earning £70,000 in the process.
Research by BetUK reveals Littler earns £3,043 per match and £333 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 Darts Championship 18 months ago at just 16-years-old.
Warrington thrower Littler then followed this up by winning the 2024 Premier League.
Since then, Littler has been the catalyst that has brought millions of new fans to the darts scene.
His unique playstyle has seen him throw 180 some 113 times in his 23 Premier League matches.
That’s an average of 4.91 per game, almost double his nearest rival, Luke Humphries, who has thrown 62 for an average of 2.82.
If Littler continues to throw 180s at an average rate of 11.3 per week, he will smash his own record — which he set last year — of 128 in a season by week 12.
In terms of prize money, Gerwyn Price is Littler’s closest rival, earning £2,941 per game, but he has played six fewer matches than Littler, who still boasts a higher average.
World No. 1 Humphries has earned £50,000 but has played five more matches than Price. He averages £2,273 per match and £240 per leg.
Three-time World champion Michael van Gerwen and Chris Dobey are the only two players who haven’t made any prize money this season, after Nathan Aspinall’s win in Manchester last week got him off the mark.
