World Darts Championship prize money: Luke Littler guaranteed to take home huge sum as 16-year-old reaches final

Luke Littler is living out his dreams at the World Darts Championship this year, securing himself at least £200,000 in prize money.

The 16-year-old sensation booked his place in the final by sweeping aside Rob Cross in the semi-finals on Tuesday night.

Littler has already planned what he will be spending some of his prize money on, revealing earlier this week that he will use it for a trip to Blackpool or Alton Towers with his mates.

He told talkSPORT: “All my friends are watching at home, we’ve always said we need to go Blackpool or Alton Towers so I think they will be looking at me like ‘you’re paying, Luke’ and I’ll be like, yeah, okay!”

Should he continue his dream run at the World Championships, his huge cut of the prize pot will increase even further…
