Move over, Tiger Woods. There’s a new sports prodigy on the scene. The internet is buzzing about 16 year old Luke Littler from England, who on Wednesday will compete in the finals at one of the most notable darts tournaments in the world. “It’s crazy to think I’m in a world championship final in my debut,” Littler told Sky Sports on Tuesday after his semifinal victory against a man who’s twice his age.
“I was happy winning one game, but I could — I’m near to going all the way.” Littler, who grew up in northwest England, has been playing darts in some form since he was around 18 months old. He began competing professionally about four years ago, when he was 12, according to The Washington Post .
Littler “completed his General Certificate of Secondary Education last summer,” paving the way for him to focus on darts full time beginning this fall, the article said. Even with the extra training time — and his multiple wins at youth level events — no one expected Littler to make such a big impact so fast.
“This is a Boris Becker moment. This is a Tiger Woods moment,” said sports promoter Barry Hearn to The Telegraph .

After winning on Tuesday, and guaranteeing himself at least a 200,000 pound payout from the PDC World Darts Championship, he told Sky Sports that he’s not planning to adjust his routine ahead of the final.
“I’ll keep doing what I have been doing,” he said. “I don’t wake up until 12 in the morning (to) go for my ham and cheese omelette, come here and have my pizza, and then go on the practice board.” Littler may have the sleeping and eating habits of a teenager, but he doesn’t really look like one.
As he’s gained worldwide attention during the current tournament, more and more social media users have questioned whether the competitor, who has a scraggly beard and stocky build, is actually 16. “Bro looks like he has a mortgage under his belt,” said one social media user in response to a video about Littler’s rise to fame.
Bro looks like he has a mortgage under his belt “16 going on 52,” said another. Here are some other funny tweets about Littler’s performance at the World Darts Championship.
