In the electrifying world of darts, where precision meets passion, one name has been lighting up the oche with jaw-dropping consistency: Luke Littler. The 18-year-old prodigy, affectionately dubbed “The Nuke,” has catapulted himself into the spotlight yet again, this time with a statistical feat that’s turning heads and rewriting expectations. As of March 25, 2025, Littler has achieved an astonishing milestone—averaging over 100 in his last ten consecutive matches. For a sport where triple-digit averages are the gold standard of excellence, this streak is nothing short of remarkable, cementing his status as a generational talent.
Picture the scene: a packed arena, the crowd buzzing with anticipation, and Littler stepping up to the line, darts in hand, exuding a quiet confidence that belies his youth. Over the past few weeks, he’s been a force of nature, delivering performances that blend raw power with surgical precision. From Cardiff to Leicester and beyond, his latest run of form has seen him rack up averages that would make even the most seasoned veterans take notice. Numbers like 122.96, 112.50, and 107.98 have rolled off his arm with an almost casual ease, each match a testament to his unrelenting focus and skill. It’s not just about the big scores, though—Littler has peppered these outings with 66 maximum 180s across 97 legs, a staggering ratio of 0.68 per leg that underscores his ability to dominate the treble 20 bed.
What makes this streak even more extraordinary is the context. Littler, the reigning PDC World Champion after his triumph in January 2025, has been juggling a relentless schedule. Just last week, he admitted he hadn’t even picked up his darts since the previous Thursday—a full seven days off before storming into Cardiff for Night Seven of the Premier League. There, he didn’t just compete; he dazzled. Facing off against Michael van Gerwen, a seven-time Premier League winner, Littler unleashed a 112.5 average, landed ten 180s, and capped it all with a televised nine-darter, his third in the competition’s history this year. “I’m just really glad I won,” he said afterward, a simple statement that barely hints at the brilliance of his performance. That night, he walked away victorious, adding another chapter to his growing legend.
This isn’t a fluke—it’s a pattern. Littler’s last ten matches have been a showcase of consistency: 122.96 against a tough opponent in Leicester, 107.82 in a nail-biter, 104.24 in a display of grit, and on it goes. Even on his “off” days, he’s hitting 100.15 or 100.17, numbers that many pros would kill for. Across these games, he’s not just winning—he’s rewriting the script for what a teenager can achieve in a sport long dominated by grizzled veterans. His 105.97 average over this stretch isn’t just a statistic; it’s a statement, a roaring declaration that he’s here to stay.
Littler’s journey to this point has been meteoric. From his breakout run to the 2024 PDC World Championship final at 16 to his title-clinching demolition of Van Gerwen earlier this year, he’s shattered records and defied doubters. Now, as he prepares for his next challenge—facing Stephen Bunting in Newcastle on March 27—the darts world is abuzz with questions. Can he keep this streak alive? Will the pressure of his own success finally catch up? For now, Littler seems unfazed, his focus locked on the next dart, the next treble, the next win. His rivals, meanwhile, can only marvel at a kid who’s turned the oche into his personal playground, one stunning stat at a time.
