Luke Littler reveals he’ll buy very modest car despite staggering darts earnings as he eyes new side hustle

Littler is ‘looking into’ monetising one of his biggest hobbies

LUKE LITTLER has revealed he will buy a VOLKSWAGEN when he passes his driving test.

The darts sensation, 17, was recently crowned Premier League champion after blowing his rivals away at the O2 in London.

Last week, Littler then jetted off to New York for the US Darts Masters where he lost to Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals.

It is estimated he has raked in £648,500 solely from darts, while his overall earnings are understood to be fast-approaching the £1million mark.

Yet he remains modest when it comes to the first car he wants to buy.

Speaking to The Mail, he said: “I’m 17, so I’m doing my (driving) lessons whenever I’m available. I’ll go car shopping, see what I want.

“I can’t go too big on the first car. Probably just a nice Volkswagen.”

Littler has enjoyed an astonishing rise to superstardom during his first year on the PDC Tour.

Finishing as runner-up at the world championships was followed up by wins in Bahrain, Austria and Belgium.

He then clinched the Premier League title with victory over Luke Humphries – who beat him in the final of the worlds back in January.

Yet despite only just having come onto the scene, he is already planning new ventures outside of darts.

Littler, who is known for being a gamer, says he is “looking into” becoming a streamer.

The teenage prodigy spends much of his down time playing Fifa – a hobby he could monetise if he gets involved in streaming.

Littler’s next appearance on the oche will come at the Poland Masters – which gets underway on June 14.

But he already has one eye on celebrity boxing after calling out TikTok star Beavo.
