The tournament will mark a whirlwind 12 months for teenage superstar Littler, 17.

Entering the event as a 16-year-old wonderkid who had just won the World Youth Darts Championship, Littler has since won ELEVEN events including the Premier League and boosted his prize money balance to over £1million.

And Littler said after winning the Grand Slam of Darts he is still aiming to improve on his world ranking of 5th before the start of the Worlds.

Littler said: “I knew coming into the tournament if I did get my hands on the trophy I’d be up to No 5 in the world. But No5 in the space of 12 months. There’s another two more rankings tournaments to come. I hope I can go higher from five.”

Now all eyes will be fixed on the draw for Ally Pally, with a field of 96 players to do battle for the Sid Waddell Trophy.
