Luke Littler prize money as darts sensation closes in on major milestone at Premier League Darts Finals Night
Lethal Luke Little r can smash the £1million mark for 2025 if he comes out on top again in Thursday's BetMGM Premier League showpiece.
The outstanding World Champion is aiming to go back-to-back at London's O2 having won the crown in his debut year 12 months ago.
Littler has already claimed two major titles along with a Euro Tour triumph in Belgium and, incredibly, another trophy lift will whip him through the seven figures in prize money for the calendar year with over half of it still to go as PDC chiefs and sponsors lavish big purses to the key events.
The teenager scooped £500,000 for winning the Paddy Power World Championship at the beginning of January and £110,000 for securing the Ladbrokes UK Open title in March.
With additional prize-money gained from a quarter-final run at the Winmau World Masters and ProTour and European Tour events also boosted by six nightly wins in the regular 16-week league campaign worth £10,000 each, the youngster could top the million mark in combined ranking and non-ranking cash by grabbing the £275,000 first prize on offer at London's O2.
Littler meets Gerwyn Price in the first semi-final on Thursday and is looking forward to the big night as he said: 'I'm very happy to finish top of the table and break more records once again.
"I'm ready for the semi-finals. It's The O2, I've been there before, I've won a semi-final before, but so has Gerwyn. I know it's going to be an incredible night, it's going to be a sell-out and I'm really looking forward to it.'
If Littler defeats Price, the World Champion will meet either Luke Humphries or Nathan Aspinall, who clash in the evening's second semi-final.

The Athletico Bilbao fans were arrested by cops after trouble erupted ahead of the La Liga quarter-finals of the Europa League earlier this year. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Rangers and Bilbao fans brawl Credit: X 3 Rangers and Bilbao fans brawl Credit: X 3 Rangers and Bilbao fans brawl Credit: X This week Spain's Permanent Commission of the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia, and Intolerance in Sport met this week to discuss the incidents. And they announced they had punished the two unnamed Bilbao residents for the attack on Rangers fans, which left one hospitalised with a ban on sports stadiums in Spain for one year and a fine of £5,000. They stated: 'Violence in sport has no place in Spain and severe measures have been taken.' A shocking video of the incident, showing Gers fans being battered by their rival Spanish supporters, was shared on social media at the time. The clip captures a huge brawl erupting on the streets of Bilbao before the crunch Europa League clash. A crowd of at least 20 hooded and masked Spanish fans lay into three helpless guys. The victims, understood to be visiting Gers fans, are all punched and kicked in the brutal attack. One is knocked to the ground and even kicked in the head during the horror assault. His pal is repeatedly smacked and even has his clothes torn off by the gang as he is held up by a shuttered doorway. One of the trio manages to escape but only after being punched and kicked. The video, thought to have been captured shortly before the big game on Thursday night, is doing the rounds on social media. One watcher said: 'This is just horrible to see. 'The masked guys are nothing but cowardly scumbags. Hope they are proud of themselves.' The trouble kicked off outside a Lidl supermarket close to a spot where Athletico Bilbao fans gather before games. It's also close to a police station. It shows a huge gathering of Spanish supporters standing in the street. Rangers lost the game 2-0 and were sent crashing out to the Europa League by the La Liga side.
