Luke Littler, the 17-year-old darts prodigy, is enjoying a well-deserved break after his remarkable triumph at the World Darts Championship earlier this month.
The young athlete took to social media to share the perks of his newfound success following his victory over darts legend Michael van Gerwen.
Littler’s win at the tournament was nothing short of historic.
After making an impressive run to the final in his World Championship debut last year, he returned this time with one goal: to secure the title.
His dominant performance in the final earned him a £500,000 prize and cemented his place in darts history.
Celebrating Success and Sharing the Spoils
In the days following his victory, Littler shared his excitement with his 1.8 million Instagram followers.
The darts star, who also has a passion for Manchester United, posted a photo of himself with a bumper pack of official Premier League stickers from Panini, expressing his gratitude with the caption: “Well then the sticker collection starts now thank you @paniniukofficial wow.”
He went on to share another photo, adding: “Surely I complete the collection after these thank you once again @paniniukofficial.”
It’s clear that Littler is enjoying his success in a laid-back, relatable way.
A Return to Gaming After the Triumph
For Littler, it’s not just about the trophies and prize money.
After his incredible performance at the World Darts Championship, he also revealed his excitement about returning to his favorite pastime—gaming.
Sharing an image of his Xbox Series console, Littler wrote: “back to normal for a few days,” signaling a return to his routine after the whirlwind of the championship.
When asked about how he would spend his winnings, Littler admitted that he would treat himself to some Under Armour tracksuits, a new coat, and, of course, some Fifa points for his Xbox.
It’s a humble way of enjoying his success and indulging in his personal interests.
Partnering with Xbox for Exclusive Prizes
Littler’s love for gaming was further highlighted when he announced a partnership with Xbox ahead of the championship.
This collaboration gave fans the chance to win exclusive prizes based on his performances during the tournament.
Every time Littler hit a 180 maximum, a nine-dart finish, or claimed victory, Xbox rewarded fans with gaming prizes throughout the UK.
The partnership between Littler and Xbox was launched with a dramatic and fun video game-inspired announcement.
Littler appeared as an asteroid heading towards Earth, before emerging from green smoke and hitting a perfect 180, much to the amazement of viewers.
The deal brought together his two passions—darts and gaming—in an exciting way that delighted both sports fans and gamers alike.
Looking Ahead to the Bahrain Darts Masters
With his World Championship win behind him, Littler is already gearing up for his next challenge—the Bahrain Darts Masters.
With less than a week to go until he defends his title, the young champion is focused on maintaining his momentum.
Despite the success and attention, Littler remains grounded and committed to his craft.
The future looks bright for the teenager, whose meteoric rise in the world of darts is just beginning.
