Luke Littler will be looking to win his second senior title this month as the Dutch Darts Masters is scheduled to take place this week.
He made history after winning the Bahrain Masters by defeating three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen to claim his first PDC title at his first effort.
The 16-year-old capped his World Series debut with his first professional men’s title and continues his rise after his epic run to the final at the World Darts Championship.
This year’s Dutch Masters will see the teenage star potentially face many big names, including Van Gerwen, Luke Humphries and Michael Smith.
Mail Sport breaks down how much Littler could earn for winning the Dutch Masters.
