HOW AN 18-YEAR-OLD JUST BROKE A TEN-YEAR RECORD. THE SECRET TO LUKE LITTLER’S DOMINANCE
History made! 18-year-old Luke Littler thrashes Gian van Veen 7-1 to become back-to-back PDC World Champion. Read the full stats.
_1767477940.webp)
Luke Littler just did it again! The teen sensation crushed Gian van Veen to grab his second World Darts Championship title in a row—the first time anyone's done that in ten years. Littler walked away with the Sid Waddell Trophy.
Despite falling behind early, Littler, who has now been in three Ally Pally finals straight, stormed back to beat Van Veen (the European and World Youth champ) 7-1. This win also earned Littler a cool £1 million, a new record for a Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) event.
The 18-year-old was on fire, averaging 106.02 with sixteen 180s and four finishes over 100. He even got a little emotional celebrating his latest big win. His girlfriend, Faith Millar, was spotted crying happy tears in the crowd. He missed a nine-dart finish after a near miss at T20 on his seventh dart, but it didn't matter much as he clinched the title. And get this—he's still only 18!
Van Veen, hoping to pull off an upset, started strong. The 23-year-old hadn't won a single match at the tournament before this year. Still, he took down former world champs Luke Humphries and Anderson on his way to the final.
The Giant, soon to be ranked third in the world, nailed a 116 checkout with 12 darts in the first leg and won the first set. But he did miss a couple of shots at D8 and one at D4. Littler also missed two of his own on his favourite D10 checkout.
Van Veen then broke Littler's throw with a 145 checkout at the start of the second set and followed it up with a 127 to win his fourth leg in a row. But the world's top player battled back, winning three legs straight to tie the score at one set each.
In the third set, Littler averaged a crazy 115.68, managing a 112 finish, an 11-dart leg, and a Big Fish to take a 2-1 lead. From there, the Warrington teen was unstoppable, winning all three legs of the fourth set.
Even the return of the Ally Pally wasp couldn't faze him. The insect buzzed around, amusing the London crowd and bugging Littler, but he kept his focus and blew Van Veen away, stretching his lead to 4-1 while averaging nearly 108 per visit.
Van Veen missed a chance to break early in the sixth set, wasting two darts on D20. And after accidentally cutting his hand, he left a speck of blood on the board. Littler then put on a show, outscoring and outfinishing his opponent to win all three legs again and make it 5-1.
The board was switched, which seemed to frustrate both players because of the blood. But Littler didn't lose his momentum. The Englishman won 14 of 15 legs to extend his lead. Van Veen threw six perfect darts to set up a nine-dart opportunity of his own before hitting T5 instead of T20, disappointing the fans. He then missed darts on D18 and D9, and the score went to 6-1 in favour of the world's best player.
Littler started the final set with a 180 and kept the pressure on, winning three of four legs. He sealed the match with a 147 checkout to secure another World Championship title.
Littler has had an amazing year since his first world title, racking up wins at the UK Open, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts, and Players Championship Finals in 2025.
He also won two World Series events and finished as runner-up in the Premier League. Defending his World Championship title was his biggest goal, and now that he's done it, he's the first person to win back-to-back titles since Gary Anderson a decade ago.
KENDRICK BOURNE REVEALS THE STRICT DISCIPLINE THAT SPARKED THE PATRIOTS' TURNAROUND
Kendrick Bourne speaks out! Discover why he thinks Mike Vrabel is the right fit and why he’s eyeing a 2026 return to the 49ers.
Kendrick Bourne’s path through the NFL has zigzagged all over – some highs, plenty of lows, and now, another fresh start. He took a shot with the Patriots in 2025 after building his reputation with the 49ers. But honestly, that New England chapter ended before it even got going. Bourne didn’t just slip out the back door. He left with a lot to say about what he saw brewing in New England as Mike Vrabel took charge.
Once Vrabel arrived, you didn’t need to listen for rumours about a culture shift; it was obvious. Bourne noticed right away. He’s already got his eyes set on home, back with the 49ers, but even from a distance, he could see the Patriots were heading somewhere new long before their record showed it.
Talking about his exit from New England, Bourne didn’t sugarcoat anything. Losing the job itself wasn’t the hardest part. What stung was watching Vrabel put his stamp on the team, laying down the kind of structure and discipline Bourne knew would eventually pay off. He was blunt; things just felt different under Vrabel compared to before.
He put it like this: “After going through OTAs and camp with Vrabes, you just knew. Nothing against Mayo, but he just wasn’t ready. With Vrabes, the structure was totally different in how we studied, how we met, and just the whole vibe. Honestly, I was sad about it.”
This wasn’t just a guy being bitter. Bourne respected what was happening in New England and genuinely wished he could have been part of it, especially with a Super Bowl push on the horizon. He even admitted he’d wanted to be in that locker room when the Patriots finally made it back to the big stage.
Now he’s back with the 49ers, hoping to stick around. At 30, Bourne wants a new contract in San Francisco. He had a solid 2025, racked up 551 yards, picked up a contract bonus, and gave the offence a spark. The 49ers needed reliable hands, and Bourne delivered. He’s clear: he wants to stay, but only if the deal makes sense for him.
So now, the offseason gets interesting. Bourne knows where he fits best, but he’s still keeping an eye on what’s building in New England. That mix of looking back and chasing what’s next makes this part of his career one to pay attention to.
MRI SCARE: STEVE KERR ADMITS STEPH CURRY’S "NEBULOUS" KNEE MAY REQUIRE SECOND IMAGING
Warriors crisis! Discover why Steph Curry may need another MRI and how Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear shifts GSW to the play-in.
The Warriors have been scrambling since Jimmy Butler went down with that ACL tear. He’s done for the year, and now Stephen Curry has to carry the offence on his own.
Right after the All-Star break, the Warriors are sitting in eighth place out West. That’s already shaky, and now Curry’s dealing with a knee injury too. The team calls it runner's knee; basically, he just needs time to heal. But then Steve Kerr gave an update that didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Turns out, Curry might need another MRI. He tried to push through a full workout, but his knee just wasn’t right. Now, they’re waiting on imaging to figure out how long he’ll actually be out.
Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis still hasn’t suited up for Golden State. If Curry misses significant time, everyone else needs to step up in a big way. The Warriors already have one of the most average offences in the league, 15th at the break. No curry, and things get ugly fast. He’s already missed 16 games this season, and the team went 6-10 without him.
Losing Butler already knocked the Warriors out of serious contention. They’re pretty much locked into the play-in. Unless Curry suddenly goes supernova, it’s hard to see them catching the Thunder or making any real noise out West.
So, what’s next? The front office tried to swing big at the deadline, going after Giannis Antetokounmpo, though who knows if the Bucks ever really considered it. Giannis stayed put, but you can bet the Warriors will chase him again this summer.
If that doesn’t work, they’ll turn to other stars. They know the championship window is closing with Curry still on the roster. He’s still elite, but time’s ticking.
LeBron James even comes up as a possibility. If he declines his player option and hits free agency, maybe he’d team up with Curry for one last run at a ring.
Most likely, though, Golden State will look at trades instead of free agents to try to reload. Curry’s health isn’t what it used to be, and the Warriors know they have to make the most of whatever prime he’s got left.
