Littler is what would happen if you never sent your child to school and let him practice a craft every day of his life until he's 17. You get Littler in Darts
And that now 18 yr. old is a millionaire from playing darts. The kid is a phenomenal talent that comes along very rarely. He was just 16 when he came in second in the world championship game, losing to Luke Humphries. However, later that year he won the prestigious Premier League and pocketed another hefty payday.
Then he comes back the next year and wins the World Title and along the way he's picked up numerous other titles-----------and hefty paydays for his efforts and is now ranked World's #1 and I can't see him relinquishing that for quite a while if he keeps his current form.
I've been following darts since the 80's and watched Eric Bristow win 5 World Titles, Raymond van Barneveld also win 5 World Titles and the great Phil Taylor set a record that I can't see anyone breaking by winning 16 World Titles.
That said, if this kid continues with his current form, I can see him winning several World Titles before he hangs up the darts.

There's a few bald headed players, but if referring to Michael van Gerwen, he is Dutch, not British. His walk-on song is "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.
No I was talking about the bald British dude Bunting and bulletproof.

Steven Bunting is one of my favorite players. When he first came to the PDC from the BDO he was throwing 12 gram darts and for the life of me I don't know how he did that with them being so damn light.
He's now bumped the weight up to 18 grams per dart and is doing well with them, but by most players standards, they are still quite light.
He got knocked out of this years World Championships yesterday, losing to another Brit named James Hurrell 4-3 in sets.

Well, the finals of the Darts World Championship are all set to be played tomorrow night.
Luke Littler and Gian van Veen will be facing off around 7:30 p.m. at the Ally Pally in London in front of several thousand fans in attendance.
Littler beat Ryan Searle 6 sets to 1 to advance and Gian van Veen beat Gary Anderson 6 sets to 3 to meet with Littler in tomorrow's match.
I've got a feeling Littler will boss it and win this battle of youth with Littler being just days shy of turning 19 and van Veen being 23. This may be the youngest pair to match up in the finals in the history of the PDC World Championship.
I'll be watching to see how it all turns out.

GVV has been the best player in the tournament so far.
Posted on 1/2/26 at 6:48 pm to tzimme4
There is so little between the 2 as far as tournament averages that it is a non-factor. Littler is just above 102 per 3 dart throw and van Veen is 101.99, so that is no kind of indicator.
Set scores show Littler having a lead with winning 25 sets and losing only 3 to opponents in six matches.
Gian van Veen also won 25 sets and lost 8 sets to opponents in six matches.
Going by those stats, Littler has been bossing the tournament.

Littler has played nobody maybe one solid player in Cross. He'll still probably win. But GVV has been more tested this tournament

After almost going down 0-2, Littler is up 3-1!
Posted on 1/3/26 at 3:12 pm to gumbo2176
Well, Littler is continuing to boss the tournament and Gian van Veen is getting increasingly frustrated with his play.
To borrow a line from "Tombstone"------------"I'm afraid the strain was more than he could bear".

Yeah, he made it look way too easy and I'm willing to wager that today's final is possibly the fastest from start to finish since the PDC uses a "First to 7 sets" final.
