LUKE LITTLER’s meteoric rise has come with a hefty rate of earning, with the teen having earned over £2,500-A-DAY since turning pro.
The Warrington native’s dominance in the sport is only growing stronger, with the fan favourite having the chance to oust top ranked Luke Humphries this weekend at the summit of the PDC rankings.
Since turning professional at the beginning of 2024 – which was 658 days ago as of time of writing – he has won £1,680,500 from his excellence on the PDC stage alone.
That brings the 18-year-old’s rate of earnings to £2,553 EACH DAY– or about £17,900-a-week – since he made the move into the professional scene.
And he could add another £120,000 to that impressive tally with a win at the upcoming European Championship in Dortmund. These are staggering numbers but Littler, whose impeccable form saw him waltz theWorld Grand Prix earlier this month, is a rare talent and good value for the monumental earnings.
On the two-year rolling PDC Order of Merit, Littler has sat in the second spot formonths behind top-ranked Humphries, with both competitors chasing down the £2million mark.
That chase has been bolstered by Littler’s mammoth £500,000 haul from his win atthe 2025 World Darts Championship in January.
He also netted £120,000 from his World Grand Prix victory after thrashing Humphries 6-1 in the final, keeping his hopes of leapfrogging his compatriot alive this weekend.
And that total figure does not take into account his earnings in non-ranking events, including wins in that time period at the Bahrain Darts Masters and runs at the Dutch Darts Masters that equate to tens of thousands more.
Those are both invitational events – glorified exhibitions really – and the money is not added to his PDC Order of Merit tally.
Littler is now set to attempt to further his career total in Dortmund, reluctantly playing in the European Championship despite his tendency to avoid events held in Germany of late — Sun.
