Luke Littler is currently banned from playing on other darts tour after making unbelievable amount of money

Luke Littler took the nation by surprise after reaching the final of the World Championship last month.

The teenage sensation - who almost made us change our name to LITTLERbible - stole the heart of the nation when he reached the final of the World Championship last month.

He somehow made people - who don't like darts - like darts.

The Warrington-based youngster, 17, has since followed up his Alexandra Palace heroics by winning the Bahrain Masters and reaching the final of the Dutch Masters.

Nicknamed ‘The Nuke’, he said: “It’s just been crazy but I’ve just been living how I have been doing – chilling when I have time off but when I’m at my darts events, being fully focused.

“That’s what I have always done. I have always been myself and keep myself to myself.”

Asked if he has enjoyed being interviewed so often, he said: “I have and I haven’t. It does get very boring!”

Now, this comes after a new revelation that Littler is likely to get banned from playing in another darts tours, but for a good reason.

In the newest video on his YouTube channel, former PDC tour card holder Matthew Edgar explained: "He's going to be a bit more restricted going into 2024 and part of that comes down to the fact he's now a tour card holder.

"By being a PDC Tour card holder means he can't play in streamed events such as the Super Series, he can't play in the WDF, he can't play in the ADC tournaments.

"That's something we knew. That's something you expect being a tour card holder.

"The one thing you don't fully expect is to not be fully eligible for the Development Tour.

"The Development Tour is a tour that is made for players aged 16 to 23.

"Luke Littler does fall in that bracket... but [he's] no longer eligible.

"The reason for that is because he's now in the top 32 of the PDC Order of Merit.

"It doesn't restrict tour card holders so you will see tour card holders playing in that system unless they're in the top 32.

"Now Luke Littler is going to be in the top 32 because of the £200,000 he won at the World Championship for at least this year and next year before he drops out of there, which means we're not going to see Luke Littler back on that Development Tour until he's at least 19.

"And the darts he's playing, I would dare say we're never going to see Luke Littler once again playing on that Development Tour."
