LUKE LITTLER will be desperate to retain the stunning World Darts Championship trophy – and the pay cheque that comes with it isn’t bad either.
The teen sensation tore apart Dutch superstar Michael van Gerwen to lift the 2024/25 title.
And not only did Littler become the youngest ever champion, he also banked a mouthwatering £500,000 for his achievement.
But for the world No1 to reign supreme in Ally Pally once again, he’ll have to be the best of an expanded 128-player field.
However, Littler is a nailed-on favourite to retain his crown and earn more prize money, having recently completed the TV darts trophy haul.
What is the World Darts Championship prize money?
The winner of this year’s World Darts Championship will earn DOUBLE the amount that Littler took home for winning the title earlier this year.
