The teenage Englishman currently holds the title at no fewer than seven of the eight most important ranking majors on the calendar. With that, he is already writing a remarkable chapter in modern darts history.
Impressive Run Launched at the 2025 World Darts Championship
Littler’s rise didn’t stop there. He was also unstoppable at the iconic summer showpiece, the World Matchplay. At the Winter Gardens, he not only showcased his immense talent but also displayed the mental strength needed to perform under pressure at the biggest stages. This ability to stay calm and focused is what separates good players from great ones.
Later in the season, he added another outstanding victory at the World Grand Prix, a double-in double-out tournament where many top players struggle to find their rhythm. Littler’s success here once again confirmed his versatility across different tournament formats.
His remarkable journey continued as Littler triumphed at the Grand Slam of Darts, solidifying his claim as one of the best in the game. He then went on to clinch the Players Championship Finals, a prestigious event where the top players from the ProTour face off against each other in a high-stakes environment.

To hold seven of the eight major ranking tournaments simultaneously is a rarity in the sport’s history. Even during the dominant eras of legends like Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen, such a situation was a rare occurrence.
The question now hanging over the darts world is simple: how long can Littler sustain this unprecedented dominance? One thing is certain: the young Englishman is currently setting a standard that forces the rest of the world’s elite to go to the absolute limit.
