World Darts Championship winner revealed by Truffle the psychic pig who correctly predicted Luke Littler’s victory
Move over octopuses and mystic meerkats — darts now has its very own superstar predictor, and she’s stealing the spotlight. Truffle the psychic pig has once again stunned fans by correctly forecasting the outcome of the PDC World Darts Championship, backing teenage sensation Luke Littler to lift the trophy before a dart had even been thrown.
Truffle, a rescue pig turned unlikely sporting oracle, made her prediction in front of cameras earlier in the tournament. Her handlers placed apples marked with the names of the top contenders in front of her enclosure. Without hesitation, Truffle marched straight toward the apple labelled “Luke Littler”, nudging it confidently and sealing her prediction for the world to see.
And she was right.
Littler went on to produce a dazzling run at Alexandra Palace, capturing the title in stunning style and becoming one of the youngest world champions in darts history. Truffle’s forecast went viral immediately after the final, with fans joking that the pig “knows more about darts than most pundits.”
This isn’t the first time Truffle has displayed uncanny accuracy. Last year, she successfully foresaw two major upsets in European football, leaving many wondering whether the farmyard clairvoyant has a genuine gift or simply a knack for sniffing out the right fruit.
Her owner insists there’s no trickery involved. “Truffle just has a feel for these things,” he laughed. “We’ve tried this for fun for a few big sporting events, but she keeps getting them right. Now people are asking her for predictions all the time.”
Social media erupted after Littler’s triumph, with fans teasingly calling for Truffle to become the “official PDC tournament predictor” and even joking that she should appear on stage at Ally Pally next year.
As for Littler, he took the news in good spirits. When told a psychic pig had picked him as champion, he reportedly laughed: “Well, at least someone believed in me from the start!”
With a perfect darting prediction record so far, Truffle’s status as a sporting icon is only growing. And with the Premier League, World Matchplay and next year’s Worlds on the horizon, fans are already asking the same question:
What will Truffle predict next?
