LUKE LITTLER is not allowed to buy darts despite being world champion.
The teen sensation has enjoyed a stellar debut year on the Pro Tour, winning 11 titles including his success at Ally Pally.
He became the youngest winner of the World Darts Championship last week, lifting the Sid Waddell trophy just 18 days short of his 18th birthday.
But his age means he is still unable to buy darts from a shop in the UK.
It is illegal for retailers to sell him a set of arrows because they are classed as age-restricted items like knives.
Shops face a fine of up to £5,000 if they sell darts to Littler or any youngster under 18.
Funnily enough, the brand of darts used by Littler are available to buy for consumers.
Made by Target, Littler’s sponsors, the ‘Luke Littler G1 Prodigy SP’ arrows retail for £129.95.
Littler signed a multi-year deal with Target last year said to be worth millions of pounds.
He is the second-highest earner on Tour with his £500,000 jackpot at the worlds taking his overall earnings to £1.4m.
Here is all the prize money Luke Littler has won so far after being crowned 2025 PDC World Darts Championship winner:
World Championship 2025 – £500,000
World Championship 2024 – £200,000
Grand Slam of Darts 2024 – £150,000
European Tour – £91,000
Player Championships events – £71,500
Players Championship final runner-up – £60,000
UK Open 2023 + 2024 – £17,500
World Matchplay – £10,000
World Grand Prix – £7,500
European Championship – £7,500
(Unranked) Premier League Darts – £315,000
TOTAL: £1.43 million
Littler, 17, is also set to become the face off his beloved Warrington Wolves.
The phenom has renewed his season ticket at his favourite rugby league side – splashing out £260 for a renewed membership on the South Stand terrace.
SunSport understands Littler is instead set to become heavily involved with the Wolves ahead of the 2025 season.
He has already been involved in the launch of this year’s new shirt.
But it is believed bosses are drawing up plans to get him further integrated into the setup.
