Who is Luke Littler and how old is the darts star?
One of the best artists to grace the Oche in a generation is LUKE LITTLER.
Here, we examine the life and career of the darts prodigy, who goes by the nickname “The Nuke.”
Who is Luke Littler and how old is he?
Luke Littler is 16 years old and was born on January 21, 2007, in Warrington, Cheshire.
His quick ascent to the World Darts Championship final, where he was defeated in an exciting match by Luke Humphries, made him one of the most talked-about figures of 2023.
Littler commented, “I still can’t believe it,” in reference to his quick ascent in August 2023, just before this year’s PDC World Darts Championship. I was taken aback.
I set out to win one Development Tour championship at the beginning of the year, and I’ve already won five.

I’ve defeated a number of Tour Card holders, including Dylan Slevin, Danny Jansen, Lewy Williams, and Keane Barry, and I believed I could defeat the top players on the Development Tour.
It’s unreal. I am eager to demonstrate my abilities on major venues now that I have my tour card.
This is a huge accomplishment for me as a player, and I think it will help me improve because I will be competing against the world’s top players every week on the ProTour and in order to qualify for the European Tour, he continued.
I don’t practice much right now. I typically work on it for 30 to 60 minutes every day.
“I have to raise my game if I’m competing against the best, even though some people won’t believe it.
He defeated Nick Fullwell 6-0 at the UK Open in Somerset in March 2023 to make his PDC debut.
Little’s first-round victory over Christian Kist, which he celebrated with a kebab, astonished Ally Pally and was one of the sport’s finest debuts ever.
As a result of his triumph, Littler became the tournament’s youngest winner and set a new Ally Pally record for the highest average (106.12).
The teenager then went a step further bybeating No 20 seed Andrew Gildingto shockingly become one of the FAVOURITES to win the tournament.
Littler has since become one of the nation’s darlings, with apicture of him on Christmas day opening presents going viral, along with old footage of an incredible trick shot while he is still in NAPPIES.
Regarding his early years, Littler disclosed: “I was on the right board by the time I was four years old. I have been constantly busy for the past 18 months.
“When we moved to Warrington when I was eight or nine we started going out to pubs four to five times a week.”
