Luke Littler eyeing new car with £200,000 World Darts prize money – despite being too young to drive
LUKE LITTLER is eyeing up a new car with the prize money he has already secured at the PDC World Darts Championship.
The 16-year-old sensation has shocked the world of darts with his incredible performances at the world championships.
After securing his place in tonight’s final against Luke Humphries he has also ensured he will bank a minimum of £200,000 of prize money regardless of the result.
If he is to continue his meteoric rise and win the Sid Waddell Trophy then that prize money will more than double to a whopping £500,000.
When asked about what he might splash the cash on by TalkSPORT he revealed that he would be after a new set of wheels – despite not being old enough to drive yet.
While pointing at the Skoda sponsorship on his shirt, he said: “I’ve got a Skoda so I’m sure they can sort me out!”
Littler is due to turn 17 this month and will finally be able to get behind the wheel of his car after the world championships are over.
The kebab loving teenager also revealed that he would love to treat his mates to a day out with some of the prize money.
He said: “All my friends are watching at home, we’ve always said we need to go Blackpool or Alton Towers so I think they will be looking at me like ‘you’re paying, Luke’ and I’ll be like, yeah, okay!”
A victory at Ally Pally will open up plenty more doors than just the ability to take his mates to a theme park.

But Littler has to finish off the dream by beating world number three Humphries in front of the rowdy crowd at the palace first.
And he’s leaving nothing to chance as he sticks to his usual pre-game routine of a ham-and-cheese omelette for breakfast followed by some pizza for lunch and a practice on the board.
