Littler’s excellent form has continued since his incredible run to the final at the World Championship, where he was beaten by Luke Humphries in the final at Alexandra Palace. He received £200,000 in prize money at the tournament and became a household name.
Two weeks later, Littler beat Michael van Gerwen in the Bahrain Masters final. He then reached the final of the Dutch Masters, but was beaten by the experienced Van Gerwen.
