Phil Taylor has revealed the one thing that would happen if he was to mentor darts sensation Luke Littler.
On Thursday night at the O2 Arena in London, Littler was crowned Premier League champion in his debut season.
Having claimed four nightly wins on tour, 'The Nuke' secured passage to the play-off round.
The 17-year-old beat Michael Smith in the semi-finals before avenging his PDC world championship final defeat to Luke Humphries with an 11-7 win which featured a stunning trademark nine-darter.

Littler, who takes home a life-changing £275,000 prize as well as the trophy, is the second person ever to hit a perfect leg in the final after Taylor.
Widely considered to be the greatest darts player of all time, Taylor dominated on the oche for three decades and holds a record 16 world championships.
'The Power' is a huge fan and has admitted to watching every game of Littler's, enjoying how he carries himself.
In March, Taylor was asked about whether he would be interested in mentoring someone like Littler and set out how he would go about it.
And he made it clear that Littler wouldn't be able to enjoy himself on EA Sports FC.
"I couldn't do it like most people do it, I'd have to be hands on," he told Online Darts.
"Everything would be there for you and I'd be knocking at your door at 10 in the morning.
"Luke wouldn't be playing on his PlayStation and I could improve Luke one hundred per cent, no trouble.
"I say hundred per cent, when he's on form I couldn't make him any better!"
Next up for Littler is the experience of playing New York before he and the family head to Orlando for DisneyLand.
His next tournament is likely to be the World Matchplay on July 13 in Blackpool after a PDC rule prevented him from representing England at the Darts World Cup.
Instead, his play-off opponents Smith and Humphries will get the nod.
