Littler hits 30 PDC titles in 961 days

LUKE LITTLER has stormed to 30 PDC titles in just 961 days after adding the Czech Darts Open to his haul.

But the world No1 is now set to miss this weekend’s Flanders Darts Trophy in Antwerp, with his dad Anthony revealing on Instagram that he will not compete in Belgium.

Littler, 19, beat Luke Humphries 8-6 in Sunday’s final in Prague on his return to the European Tour.

The Nuke has secured qualification for the European Championship in Dortmund from October 22-25, the one Premier event he has yet to win.

Littler claimed his first PDC crown at the Bahrain Darts Masters in January 2024.

The teen sensation has since become the dominant force in the sport, collecting FIFTEEN major trophies.

Littler has showcased his incredible versatility on the tour by winning four titles on the floor, six on the European stage and five on the World Series circuit.

The Warrington wonderkid has needed less than three years to build a collection of silverware that takes many players an entire career to assemble.

Littler is now chasing a feat no player has achieved in the sport, not even Phil Taylor, as he bids to complete an unprecedented clean sweep of every PDC Premier event this season.

He has won six of the 11 titles available so far and needs just five more: the World Series Finals, World Grand Prix, European Championship, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals.

Littler returns to action at the World Series Finals in Amsterdam next Thursday looking for revenge after finishing runner-up last year with an 11-7 defeat to Michael van Gerwen.
