LUKE LITTLER

Luke Littler, known worldwide as “The Nuke”, has rewritten the record books in darts. Born in Warrington, Luke picked up a dart at just 18 months old and joined St Helens Youth Academy at age 8. From the very start, his extraordinary talent and relentless dedication set him apart.

Representing England’s A team, Luke earned international honours early, including multiple 9-dart finishes at the MVG Masters in Gibraltar, and appearances at the WDF British Internationals, 6 Nations, and Youth Europe Cup.

In 2021, Luke dominated the WDF Youth circuit, winning the England Open, British Classic, Welsh Classic, and Irish Classic. These victories earned him a spot in the 2022 WDF World Championships, where he reached the last 16. That same year, he successfully defended his England Open and Welsh Classic titles and was crowned JDC Youth World Champion at Alexandra Palace.

2023 marked Luke’s transition into the elite professional ranks. He became the first MODUS Super Series Champion of Champions to defend his title, won five JDC Advanced Tours, and four PDC Development Tour events, including a stunning 9-dart finish.

In 2024, Luke truly announced himself on the world stage. At just 16, he reached the World Championship final, defeating former world champions Rob Cross and Raymond van Barneveld along the way. He continued his incredible form in the Premier League, winning the Bahrain Masters, Belgium Darts Open, Austrian Open, and multiple Premier League nights, achieving several 9-dart finishes and topping the league in his debut season.

In 2025, Luke reached the pinnacle of his career, becoming back-to-back Grand Slam winner, PDC World Darts Champion, and officially the world number 1. As well as setting a new record for the most 180s in a single calendar year, showcasing his extraordinary consistency and scoring power. Luke’s composure, precision, and sheer dominance make him a fan favourite and an idol to young darts players around the world.
