Phil Taylor’s Financial and Social Media Advice for Luke Littler
Darts legend Phil Taylor has shared some valuable financial and career advice for rising star Luke Littler, emphasizing the importance of smart money management and staying focused on the game.
Speaking to Sport Bible, Taylor advised Littler to be strategic with his earnings, urging him to plan for the future.
“Make sure you look after your money,” Taylor said. “Two bank accounts – one for everyday use and another to set aside money for taxes. That’s what I always used to do.”
He also encouraged Littler to start investing, highlighting the importance of financial security in a sport where unexpected injuries could impact earnings.
“Try to start investing your money, so if anything happens—if you fall down and break your arm—you’ve got something to fall back on,” Taylor added.
Taylor’s Social Media Warning for Littler
Beyond financial management, Taylor also had a strong warning for Littler regarding his social media presence. The 17-year-old has been highly active on platforms like Facebook, X, and Instagram, but Taylor believes this could be a distraction.
“Keep off social media. Don’t bother with it. Let somebody else do it for you,” he advised. “You don’t need to read things because it can upset you.”
Taylor suggested Littler hire a social media manager to handle his accounts, allowing him to focus solely on his game and avoid unnecessary distractions.
With Littler already demonstrating financial maturity by treating his family and friends to holidays and meals out, Taylor’s advice serves as a reminder to think long-term and stay grounded as his career progresses.
