Littler, 18, seals top spot with semi-final victory
He faces unseated No 1 Luke Humphries in Sunday’s final
Luke Littler made more history as he became the youngest ever PDC world No 1. The 18-year-old’s position at the top of the rankings has seemingly been a foregone conclusion ever since he burst on to the scene with his record-breaking run to the final of the 2024 PDC world championship.
He became the youngest ever world champion a year later and has gone on to become a global star, transcending the sport.
He is now officially the best player in the world, overhauling great rival Luke Humphries at the summit. Littler beats the record of previous youngest Michael van Gerwen, who was 24 when he first topped the rankings in 2014.
