Luke Littler confirms immediate darts return with quick turnaround following £1million World Darts Championship win
Luke Littler has confirmed he will waste no time getting back on the oche following his historic £1 million World Darts Championship triumph at Alexandra Palace.
The teenage sensation sealed a second consecutive Sid Waddell Trophy with a dominant victory in the final, cementing his status as the sport’s leading figure and becoming the first player to pocket the PDC’s landmark seven-figure top prize. But despite the scale of his achievement, there will be little opportunity for rest.
Speaking after his Ally Pally success, Littler revealed he is set for an almost immediate return to competitive action, with a quick turnaround already planned as the new darts season gets underway.
Rather than easing himself back in, the world No.1 confirmed he will jump straight back into competition, underlining his determination to maintain momentum and build on his record-breaking year.
The decision reflects Littler’s mentality since bursting onto the scene — treating success as a platform rather than a finishing line. Having already won back-to-back world titles, the Premier League, and multiple major trophies before his 20th birthday, he is keen to keep pushing forward while his form is at its peak.
Littler admitted the World Championship win was “life-changing” financially, but made it clear that his focus remains firmly on trophies, rankings and performances rather than the size of his earnings.
With the Premier League, World Series events and ranking tournaments all looming, the darts calendar offers little breathing space — something Littler appears more than comfortable with.
Fans have praised the youngster’s attitude, noting that while many players might take extended time off after such a monumental payday, Littler is instead eager to get straight back to work.
As the new season begins, all eyes will be on whether the Warrington star can continue his remarkable dominance. If his willingness to return immediately after a £1 million night is anything to go by, Luke Littler’s hunger for success shows no signs of slowing down. 🎯
