Darts results: Luke Littler becomes youngest World Matchplay champion and completes the PDC's Triple Crown of majors

The unstoppable 18-year-old, who won the most perfect of perfect legs against Josh Rock in the semi-finals, is now the youngest ever Winter Gardens champion by six years, breaking the record that Wade set when lifting the trophy aged 24 way back in 2007.

The cheque for £200,000 also saw him crash through the £2million prize money barrier which is a eye-watering achievement in just 19 months since becoming a PDC professional.

Aside from landing the 2025 World Championship and 2024 Premier League - which are the other two pillars of the Triple Crown - those earnings have been boosted by three other majors at the UK Open (2025), Grand Slam (2024) and World Series of Darts Finals (2024) while he also has eight other PDC titles on his CV.
