Luke Littler has revealed how he’s spent some of his Premier League Darts prize money.
The 17-year-old darts sensation banked £275,000 when he took down PDC World Champion Luke Humphries in the final last Thursday, beating him 11-7 to win the tournament in his first crack at it.
He even threw in a nine-darter, blowing the mind of his opponent and the crowd at the O2 Arena.
Littler has previously admitted he spent part of his previous earnings on his FIFA team.
This time, though, he’s enjoyed his £315million total earnings from the tournament in a different way.
However, he’s not strayed far from showing his real love for gaming.
“None of them went to FIFA points,” Littler said. “But I did buy a Nintendo Switch, which I have brought away with me to have a bit of fun.
“Usually we are sat in the hotel rooms waiting for the next day to play.
“We did some sight-seeing this week. I came back, chilled out and played on the Switch.”
There’s little time for rest for the darts star.
Following his win in London, Littler is already in New York for the US Darts Masters.
His incredible form continued in his debut in the competition, beating Matt Campbell 6-0 in under ten minutes at Madison Square Garden.
“I felt good and couldn’t wait to get out there,” he said. “The amount of the athletes that have performed here is amazing.
“I enjoyed that walk-on. The crowd got involved with it.
“It has been crazy out here. But it’s a good thing as the darts get more recognisable outside of the UK and other countries.”
Littler also changed his walk-on music from Green Light by Pitbull, Flo Rida and Lunchmoney Lewis to WWE wrestling champion Cody Rhodes’ Downstait’s anthem Kingdom.
“The Americans love their wrestling, it is where it is based,” he said.
“Cody gave me a message yesterday and I thought, let’s use his walk-on.”
He will now face last year’s finalist Jeff Smith.
