Littler, celebrating his 18th birthday today, is notable for becoming the youngest world champion in darts history. His first year on the PDC Tour has been remarkably successful, earning him titles like the Premier League and the Grand Slam of Darts. Despite the significance of turning 18, Littler plans a subdued celebration because of his demanding competition schedule. The champion expressed anticipation for future tournaments and believes he could surpass Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles, contingent on his persistence and motivation in the sport.
Littler's maiden title at Ally Pally will be the first of many - unless something goes drastically wrong. He has said he is capable of beating Phil Taylor's record of 16 if he has the hunger and longevity.
I haven't got anything planned really because there is a lot of darts around this time," he said. "I will probably just do something at home before the crazy schedule starts.
While turning 18 is a rite of passage for most youngsters and is celebrated in style, Littler will be having a quiet one, mainly due to the hectic forthcoming schedule.
It's up to him now; once you've got that name you are a target.
