For Luke Littler, making history is what truly matters. The teenage sensation has already made a name for himself in the world of professional darts, but he's far from satisfied. With his sights firmly set on becoming the fourth player to go back-to-back at the World Darts Championship, Littler is driven by a desire to leave an indelible mark on the sport.
At just 18 years and 299 days old, Littler has become the youngest ever PDC world No.1, boasting an impressive resume of eight major titles in just two short years. His journey from debutant to world champion was meteoric, and he's now looking to make history once again by becoming the first player to win back-to-back titles.
But what drives Littler? Is it the prospect of taking home a record-breaking £1 million prize, or is it something more meaningful? "I wouldn't say worse," Littler admitted. "Because I know what to expect if I am nervous and start getting the shakes... just got to compose yourself, drink your water backstage." It's clear that while the money is enticing, Littler's focus remains on making history.
In a sport where tradition and legacy are so important, it's refreshing to see a young player like Littler taking his cue from those who have come before. When asked if he should be considered among the greatest players in darts history alongside legends like Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor, Littler was quick to dismiss such notions.
"I've got to keep winning titles... I've got to keep picking up all those titles of the same kind," he said humbly. "We will see where we are." It's a attitude that's both refreshing and admirable, as Littler remains focused on his goals rather than getting caught up in speculation about his legacy.
As the World Darts Championship approaches, fans can expect to witness a thrilling battle for supremacy between Littler and Luke Humphries. Will it be a repeat of their Grand Slam of Darts final, or will something new be written? One thing is certain: with Littler on the rise, the future of darts looks brighter than ever.

. I mean, 18 and already a world No.1, that's insane! And he's not even thinking about being mentioned in the same breath as legends like van Gerwen or Taylor, he just wants to keep winning titles. That attitude is so refreshing, it's like he's still a kid with a dream 
. The fact that he's humble and focused on his goals, rather than getting caught up in hype, is what sets him apart from the rest. Can't wait to see how he does at the World Championship, fingers crossed for an epic final match! 
i love how humble he is too, not getting caught up in all the hype about being considered one of the greatest players ever... focus on winning titles is where it's at for him 
I'm totally stoked to see Luke Littler taking his game to the next level! Becoming the youngest PDC world No.1 at 18 is already a huge achievement and now he's gunning for back-to-back World Darts Championship titles 
. It's awesome that he's keeping his focus on making history rather than getting caught up in the hype around his legacy – it's all about the love of the game, you know? 
And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see a thrilling battle between Littler and Luke Humphries at the World Darts Championship? It's gonna be EPIC 
](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) anyway i think what's really cool about him is that he doesn't seem to be worried about getting nervous or stuff. like, he just tells himself to compose and drink water and moves on. reminds me of some pro athletes who do the same thing

Littler's focus on making history over money is inspiring 
i mean what if hes just playing for the love of darts? 
but seriously, the kid's got game and I love that humble attitude about his legacy... it's refreshing to see a pro who doesn't get caught up in all the hype. And omg £1 million prize money? nice distraction from the whole history-making thing 
- Luke Littler becomes debutant & wins first major title
- can he go back-to-back for a record-breakin' win? 
. that's what makes me proud of this kid! 
i've been following his career since he was like 15 and it's crazy to see how far he's come in such a short time 
i mean yeah the money is great but i think what's really driving him is just the passion for the sport itself 
and honestly i love how humble he stays despite all the hype
