Luke Littler has made an incredible amount of money from darts at the tender age of 17.

'The Nuke' secured the biggest payday of his professional career on Thursday night when he won the Premier League in his debut season.

Littler claimed four nightly wins on the United Kingdom tour, therefore pocketing himself £40,000 as the fee for a triumph is £10,000 a night.

He was one of the top four players to qualify for the play-offs at the O2 Arena and was paired with Michael Smith in the semi-finals.

He beat the 2023 PDC world champion to set up a final with Luke Humphries, the man who beat him in the world championship final at the start of the year. Littler avenged the loss, producing a stunning nine-darter finish on his way to an 11-7 win.

As well as the trophy, the Warrington wonderkid claimed a massive £275,000 in prize money.

But this year alone, Littler has made more than half a million from his exploits on the oche.

Finishing second to Humphries in the world championship bagged him £200,000, before wins in the Bahrain and Belgian Open secured him £20,000 and £30,000 respectively.

Meanwhile, a second-place finish in the Dutch Masters resulted in a payment of £10,000.

All in, without taking endorsements into account, Littler's professional earnings stand at £575,000. He will of course be heavily taxed but it's still a life-changing sum for Littler.

He and his family are set to celebrate with a "once-in-a-lifetime trip" to Orlando for Disneyland.

“I'm playing in New York next week, which looked great last year," he told the Evening Standard.

“I saw the guys taking the helicopter ride and I'll definitely get my chance to see some sites.”

Littler added: “And then it's off to Orlando. We're going to Disney and plan to do all the rides.

“My whole family loves all the rollercoasters. It's one of those once-in-a-lifetime trips.”
