Ranking Titles

'The Nuke', who reached the showpiece final of his maiden World Darts Championship in 2024, captured his first bona-fide ranking crown at the Grand Slam of Darts in November 2024.

The Warrington ace produced some scintillating arrows to record a comprehensive 17-3 success over Martin Lukeman in the final, having dispatched of Gary Anderson in a deciding leg shootout in a pulsating semi-final.

He very nearly made it back-to-back ranking event successes after reaching the final of the 2024 Players Championship Finals, but came unstuck in the final against then world number one Luke Humphries.

He did however, bounce back from that disappointment in scintillating style by becoming the youngest world champion in the sport's history, romping to glory at Alexandra Palace in January 2025, seeing off three-time title-holder Michael van Gerwen in emphatic fashion, before retaining the title in 2026.

Littler also secured the 2025 UK Open and 2025 World Matchplay titles after beating James Wade in both finals.

The Nuke secured his spot at the summit of the PDC's Order of Merit by retaining his Grand Slam of Darts title in November 2025, before securing the 2025 Players Championship and 2026 World Darts Championship - becoming the competition's first £1 million winner in the process.

At the time of writing, Littler has captured 13 major PDC ranking titles.
