Littler's latest triumph sees him scoop another £275,000 in prize money following his success on the ProTour and EuroTour in 2024. However, he has now explained it could have been double trouble on the oche. During his press conference after the final, Littler was asked about playing darts during Covid.
The 17-year-old answered: "That’s what really did it for me: Covid. I was non-stop on the board. "My older brother, he stopped playing darts.
If he had continued to practise, maybe there would have been two Littlers – but there is only one!" His older brother Leon revealed earlier this year he had quit darts to become a barman. However, the 20-year-old remains supportive of his younger sibling along with the rest of their family.
