LUKE ‘The Nuke’ Littler is forecast to win almost £200,000 from his exploits in Premier League Darts in 2025, according to JeffBet.

The Warringtonian superstar had a bumper year in 2024, adding a reported £1.1million to his career earnings at the oche capped off by winning the PDC World Championships at Alexandra Palace in London.

He famously lost out to Luke Humphries in the final of the competition the year before at the age of just 16, coming back to defeat Michael van Gerwen in dominant fashion last month.

The former Padgate Academy student, who lives in Appleton, was the overall winner in Premier League Darts in 2024 too, and is expected to be the player to beat once again.

The 18-year-old is forecast to defend his title, and in doing so bring in an estimated £196,813.

Of course, winning such a large chunk of money would bring with it tax implications, and Littler would be on the hook to make a chunky contribution to HMRC.

Based on his predicted winnings for just the Premier League in 2025, Littler would need to cough up £80,715.71 for the tax man before considering his income from other tournaments, sponsorships or commercial deals.

He already has a multi-year partnership with Target Darts which is understood to be worth multiple millions.

Littler also has a deal with BoohooMAN and last year he struck a deal with YouTube creators Sidemen to promote their Best brand of breakfast cereals.
