Luke Littler, a 17-year-old Englishman, has become the youngest world champion in darts history, winning the PDC World Darts Championship by defeating three-time champion Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final. Littler's victory marks a significant milestone in his career, as he entered this year's championship despite being just 17 years old.
