In a display of utter dominance, 18-year-old sensation Luke Littler defended his PDC World Darts Championship title, demolishing Gian van Veen 7-1 in the final at London’s Alexandra Palace on January 3, 2026. Sealing victory with a spectacular 147 checkout, “The Nuke” averaged over 106, winning six straight sets after dropping the opener.
Littler’s path was ruthless: straight-set wins early, a gritty 4-2 over Rob Cross, 5-0 vs. Krzysztof Ratajski, and 6-1 semi-final thrashing of Ryan Searle. Now the fourth player to retain the crown—first since Gary Anderson in 2016—he pockets £1 million, extending his Order of Merit lead.
From 2024 runner-up to two-time champ, Littler’s scoring power and composure redefine darts. The teenager’s legacy grows—unstoppable force.
