Luke Littler, 16, Stuns World Darts Championship with Record-Breaking Debut

Boy Wonder Takes the Darts World by Storm

At just 16 years old, Luke Littler has made history at the PDC World Darts Championship with a jaw-dropping debut performance. The confident teenager, who is too young to vote, bet, drink, or drive, dominated former world champion Christian Kist in the first round. Littler won 3-0, throwing an impressive seven 180s and boasting an astonishing average of 106.12 – the highest of the tournament. His incredible display has led bookmakers to slash his odds from 50-1 to 12-1 to win the £500,000 prize. Can Littler continue to impress in the next round?

Darts Prodigy Faces Next Challenge

Following his sensational victory, Littler is set to go head-to-head with UK Open champion Andrew Gilding in the next round. The young qualifier, who is not allowed to wear a Paddy Power patch due to his age, remains confident and unfazed. Littler believes that if he can maintain an average of 106 in every game, he has a real shot at claiming the title. With his nerves out of the way and the crowd on his side, could Littler be the dark horse of the tournament?

Littler's Idol and Unbelievable Support

Luke Littler's performance has not only captivated fans but also caught the attention of his idol, Phil Taylor. The sixteen-time world darts champion was left in awe of Littler's skills and offered his congratulations. Littler, who played up to the crowd throughout the match, dedicated his victory to Taylor. The young prodigy's enthusiasm and talent have left pundits and former champions alike singing his praises. With such high praise from the darts community, can Littler go all the way and become the youngest-ever world champion?

Snakebite's Shocking Early Exit

In a surprising turn of events, 53-year-old Peter Wright, also known as Snakebite, was eliminated from the tournament after a crushing defeat by Welshman Jim Williams. Wright, who came dressed as the Grinch with bright green hair, was the highest seed to be knocked out before Christmas. With his early exit, Wright's world ranking is expected to plummet. The tournament continues to deliver unexpected twists and turns, leaving fans eager for more surprises.
