Luke Littler has been fast-tracked into darts’ Premier League as the Professional Darts Corporation and Sky Sports attempt to build on the record-breaking momentum the 16-year-old has generated after his run to the final of the World Darts Championship.
Littler is arguably the biggest name in darts after creating global headlines with his performances at Alexandra Palace in the past three weeks. The Warrington teenager produced a series of spellbinding displays to reach the final and while he ultimately came up short against Luke Humphries on Wednesday the publicity he created was unprecedented. The sport has acted fast to capitalise on it.
