Luke Littler sends seven word message to fans ahead of chance to win £315k jackpot at Premier League darts final
LUKE LITTLER has sent out a seven-word message ahead of tonight’s Premier League Darts final.
The 17-year-old has a chance to win the huge £275,00 jackpot and get his hands on the trophy at the O2 Arena, London.
The Nuke kicks-off the action with a semi-final clash against Michael Smith.
And the winner of Luke Humphries against Michael van Gerwen awaits in the showpiece.
Littler got in the mood for finals night, posting a video on Instagram.
The clip was a thrilling montage of his best Premier League moments from across the previous 16 nights of action.
He posted video just over an hour before he was due to take to the oche – alongside the caption: “All comes down to tonight can’t wait.”
Fans commented: “I’ll be there shouting for ya lad.”
Another added: “All the best king.”
While a third said: “Come on Luke.”
Littler was advised to snub his invitation to the Premier League earlier in the year by 2009 champion James Wade, who was worried he would suffer from burnout.
But the teenage star finished the roadshow across Europe in top spot after winning four nights.
Each of those wins is worth £10,000 – so success at the O2 tonight will see him make £315,000 overall from his debut Premier League campaign.
Ahead of tonight, Littler said to the media: “I cannot wait. I’m so glad to be a part of these sold out arenas. I’m going to the O2 full of confidence.
“I’m just focused on trying to win that first semi-final against Michael Smith.
“Michael has got a good record against me, but hopefully I can put that right and win when it really matters.
“It would mean everything to lift the title. It would be my first major title, but if it’s not to be, it’s not to be.”
Smith currently leads the head-to-head 5-2.
