The darts world is buzzing with excitement as 17-year-old Luke Littler takes the crown as the new world darts champion. His recent victory against Michael van Gerwen in the final was nothing short of spectacular, solidifying his position as the top player in the sport. It was a sweet revenge for Littler, who had experienced defeat in his debut last year against Luke Humphries. But this time, he emerged as the youngest ever world champion, leaving the audience in awe.
Even more impressive is the fact that Littler has been dominating the darts scene for the past year, winning a total of 10 titles including the Premier League and Grand Slam of Darts. This has proven that his breakthrough run last year was not a fluke, but rather a glimpse of his incredible talent. And with this latest achievement, all the hype surrounding him has only been validated.
As news of Littler's win spread, the sporting world was quick to offer their congratulations. Among them was Manchester United legend, David Beckham, who personally reached out to Littler to express his admiration for the young champion. As a die-hard United fan himself, Beckham's words held a special significance for Littler, despite the fact that he left the team before Littler was even born.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Littler shared his thoughts on receiving praise from such an icon. "It just goes to show how well I've done for the sport," he said. "Not just for myself, but for all the other professionals out there. And to see David Beckham watching and congratulating me, it just feels surreal."
But Beckham was not the only big name to offer words of congratulations. Even Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer took notice of Littler's record-breaking achievement and commended him for his mesmerizing performance under immense pressure. In a statement, Starmer said, "Congratulations Luke on being the youngest ever PDC World Darts Champion. Your inspirational performance tonight not only makes you a champion but also elevates the sport of darts as a whole."
The celebration continued on social media, with Littler's hometown rugby team, Warrington Wolves, proudly announcing his victory and expressing their pride in his accomplishment. Even 16-time world champion Phil Taylor joined in on the congratulations, recognizing Littler's fantastic performance and crowning him as a true champion of the world.
It is safe to say that Littler's triumph has not only made him a champion but also a role model for aspiring darts players around the world. His hard work, determination, and talent have propelled him to great heights at a young age, and there is no doubt that this is just the beginning of a long and successful career.
