Luke Littler’s darts career can reach even greater heights should he successfully defend his Premier League Darts title this week.
The 18-year-old is the defending champion and is looking to make it back-to-back victories on Finals Night at the 02 Arena in London.

It will add to an already memorable 2025 for Littler thus far, having become the new champion of the world at Ally Pally in January.
The total prize pot for the Premier League this year is £1million, with Littler already guaranteed at least £85,000 for reaching Finals Night.
Luke Littler: Career earnings
Littler has won over £1 million in prize money from major events.
But it’s even more when taking into account all of his career winnings.
The teenager has won approximately £1,300,500 in total.
In the PDC Order of Merit – which is calculated over two years – his £1.3m bankings come from his success at the UK and Belgian Opens.
Results on the European Tour, the Players’ Championship, the World Matchplay and the World Grand Prix are also included.
And now the £500,000 World Championship prize is in there too.
So far, in the Premier League, Littler has earned £60k for his six nightly wins, in addition to claiming a set of 18-carat gold darts worth £30,000 for a nine-darter he hit during the regular season.
Adding that to his reward from invitational events is what takes him well beyond a million.

Littler won the Premier League of Darts last year and the World Series of Darts last year, claiming around £395,000 in prize money.
Those events are invitationals, so they don’t count towards the PDC rankings.
However, by adding the £1.1m from ranked and the £395,000 from non-ranking events, Littler is now just beyond £1.5million in total.
It is a superb return for a rising superstar who only turned 18 in January, and he’s quickly become one of the main faces in darts.
talkSPORT analyst and former PDC professional player Paul Nicholson believes the teenager’s rise is as rare as they come.
He told talkSPORT.com: “To see him rise to almost the top of the rankings is incredible in the space of a year.

“It is almost like Wayne Rooney’s rise to the top of the sport.
“It is unprecedented but in this day and age it is a case of looking at the opportunities.
“The Junior Darts Corporation have afforded opportunities and exposed competition to young stars like Littler so they can decide what to do.
“Seeing the nine-darter hit by Littler when he was a child in Gibraltar, we all thought he might be better than most.
“But I think the exposure to pressure situations where he doesn’t seem to buckle that has just continued.
“It doesn’t matter what the stage is or prize is he just wants to play.
“And if he can play and not feel the pressure the limits are boundless.”
Luke Littler: Net worth
Littler is now a millionaire, though his exact total net worth is unknown.
Since his astounding breakthrough, Littler has signed several sponsorship deals.
These include contracts with BoohooMAN and Target, while he also agreed to a partnership with Xbox in December.
Those deals are estimated to be worth millions over the course of the time he works with the respective brands.
Littler also signed a lucrative TV sponsorship deal to star in the remake of the hit show Bullseye.
He has joined England cricket icon Andrew Flintoff as part of the reboot, stepping in to help contestants.

Littler has spent a huge portion of his newfound wealth to move his family.
The teenage superstar is paying £6,000 a month in rent for the swanky pad in Warrington, which comes with its own swimming pool.
Given his outstanding start to life in professional darts, Littler’s wealth and career earnings are only set to grow in the coming years.
And by becoming a world champion at the age of 17, his fame and earnings would reach new levels.
