Teen Darts Sensation Littler Wins First World Series Crown of Year

WOLLONGONG, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, AUG 9 – Luke Littler overcame jeers from the crowd to secure his first World Series win this year and extend his winning streak with an 8-4 final victory, officials said.

  • On Saturday, Reigning PDC World Champion Luke Littler secured the Australian Darts Masters in Wollongong, defeating Belgian debutant Mike De Decker 8-4.
  • Last year’s 8-1 loss to Gerwyn Price motivated Littler, who said a losing final pushes him to come back 'one better' as reigning World Champion.
  • He then defeated Stephen Bunting 7-4 to reach the final, after a 102.84 average against Damon Heta, Australia’s top player.
  • De Decker, Belgian debutant, joked, `'He needs to retire because it's not fun any more,'` after Littler’s victory.
  • Next year, Littler aims for a trans-Tasman double as the PDC will name the trophy after Kyle Anderson from 2026.
