When Littler arrived at Alexandra Palace last year, he was relatively unknown. But after his historic run to the final, he became an overnight sensation. Despite losing to Luke Humphries in the showpiece match, Littler's career has only flourished since then. He is currently ranked fourth in the world and has won 10 titles in his first year on tour, earning over £1million in prize money.

Fans might have to wait a little longer to see Littler in action as his first match at the PDC World Darts Championship 2025 is scheduled for Saturday 21st December 2024 at 7pm. Due to his high ranking, Littler has received a bye into the second round and will face the winner of Ryan Meikle and Fallon Sherrock.
