Luke Littler is producing an exceptional run of dominance on the PDC circuit, currently holding the title at seven of the eight most important ranking majors. The 19-year-old Englishman has written a remarkable chapter in modern darts history with this near-total control of the sport's premier events.
Littler launched his impressive run by winning the PDC World Darts Championship in 2025 to become world champion. He quickly followed that with victory at the UK Open, known as the "FA Cup of darts" due to its open format. At the iconic World Matchplay at the Winter Gardens, he demonstrated both talent and mental strength on the biggest stages. Later, he added the World Grand Prix title, a unique double-in double-out tournament where many top players struggle. He also won the Grand Slam of Darts and the Players Championship Finals, where the best ProTour players face off. Additionally, Littler claimed the revamped Winmau World Masters, bringing his tally to seven major ranking titles and showing his dominance across various tournament types and playing styles.
Only one major eludes Littler's grasp: the European Championship, which belongs to Gian van Veen. For the Dutchman, that title marked a major breakthrough at the highest level, and he remains the sole player to break Littler's stranglehold on the majors. The fact that one player holds seven of the eight major ranking tournaments simultaneously is a rarity in the sport's history, even compared to dominant eras of legends like Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen.
The darts world now wonders how long Littler can sustain this unprecedented dominance. One thing seems certain—the young Englishman is currently setting a standard that forces the rest of the world's elite to go to the absolute limit.
