World Youth Championship darts 2024 prize money: How much can be won?
LUKE LITTLER has paved the way for youngsters to shine in darts and they’ll be chasing success like he once did at the World Youth Championship – which also comes with a nice bit of prize money.
The Nuke recently became a 17-year-old millionaire after humiliating Martin Lukeman 16-3 in the Grand Slam of Darts final.
But it was just 12 months ago when Littler picked up £10,000 for lifting the World Youth Championship.
Littler announced himself to the world by beating Gian van Veen 6-3 in what turned out to be a thrilling final.
However, the teenage sensation did not feature despite being eligible due to other commitments meaning that fans could see a new Littler emerge on the scene.
And that also means the winning cash prize is guaranteed to go to someone else’s bank account.
