But despite taking home yet another massive pay day on Sunday, he admitted that he decided to keep the birthday gifts for girlfriend Faith Millar pretty low-key.
After months of claiming that they were only friends, Littler that he was in a relationship with Faith Millar, 20, in July.
Millar has since been seen supporting her boyfriend at almost all of his major darts competitions in recent months, even when the World Masters final was taking place on her 20th birthday.
Because of this, Littler admitted post-match that he hadn't even bought his girlfriend a birthday present to celebrate
"It is Faith's birthday. I didn't get her anything, but at least I got the trophy,' Littler admitted after the win.
"We can go shopping tomorrow. It's going to go.
"There was no pressure on me today, but there was a little bit to try and get the win for her and my family."
Although Millar didn't appear to be bothered by Littler failing to prepare a present for her 20th birthday, his statement went down well with fans on social media.
Reacting to Littler's admission, one fan wrote: "F****** hell. Basically just didn't bother to get a present to his new girlfriend that he's never celebrated a birthday with before. What a fella."
Another added: "Tight b*****. Not as if he's short of a few quid"
While one joked: "Haha, who says romance is dead?"
Last year, Littler opened up about the difficulties he and Millar faced at the start of their relationship due to the negative backlash and trolling online.
Littler had opened up about his relationship with Millar last year, admitting it had initially been 'tough' with people trolling their relationship online, but insisted those making comments were jealous.
"Yeah, it's been tough,' he said. on DartsStream Live.
"Obviously, at the start of last year, I was always looking at the comments. And she's been having a look [at the] negativity.
"But I just said, "They're jealous. They wanna ruin us." But I just said, "Just don't look at it and just focus on what we've got"'.
