World champion Luke Littler is gearing up for another major title showdown as he prepares to take on Luke Humphries in the World Grand Prix final. With a substantial six-figure prize on the line and his girlfriend potentially cheering him on from the crowd, ‘The Nuke’ is set to bring his A-game this Sunday.
At the tender age of 18, darts whizz-kid Littler has already bagged wins at the World Championship, World Matchplay and UK Open in 2025. He’s also chalked up two more victories at the Australian Darts Masters and New Zealand Darts Masters.
Even if he doesn’t scoop the top prize at the Winter Gardens, he’ll still add a hefty sum to his rapidly swelling earnings. Express Sport takes a closer look at the potential winnings up for grabs and Littler’s newfound motivation after going public with his supportive girlfriend.
World Grand Prix prize money
The World Grand Prix boasts a total prize pot of £600,000, with the victor set to pocket a cool £120,000. The runner-up won’t leave empty-handed either, with a respectable £60,000 on offer.
The first-place reward is slightly more than what Littler earned for his victory at the UK Open earlier this year. However, it’s somewhat less compared to some of his previous major triumphs.
Littler has bested Humphries in 14 out of their 24 matches so far, although ‘Cool Hand’ has proven his worth on the biggest stages. Humphries has clinched three of the last five major finals between them, including this year’s Premier League finale.
Luke Littler’s staggering fortune
No one in the darting world has ever amassed such a fortune in such a short span of time as Littler, who is estimated to be worth around £1.6million. The young whizz-kid’s bank balance has skyrocketed following his major debut at the 2024 World Championship, and he has already reached millionaire status despite his tender age.
Accounts published for Luke Littler Darts Ltd revealed that ‘The Nuke’ pocketed just over £1m during the last tax year. It’s estimated that Littler has accumulated more than £2m in career earnings so far, with a quarter of that coming from his first World Championship title back in January.
In addition to his competition winnings, Littler has also begun to cash in on his image and receives a percentage of all branded merchandise sales, much of which is sold through his own official shop. And it seems there are no limits for one of the most marketable names in the sport.
Luke Littler’s new girlfriend
Almost a year after splitting up with ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn, Littler introduced his new partner to the public in May 2025. The young star is currently dating beautician Faith Millar, and the pair have already taken the big step of appearing together at Luke’s competitions.
The couple initially kept their relationship under wraps, but Millar has gradually been stepping into the limelight more recently. And she was present once more to cheer on her partner during his quarter-final triumph over Gerwyn Price.
Millar is anticipated to support The Nuke in his forthcoming match against Humphries on Sunday. Nonetheless, he and his supporters would rather sidestep the stress of another audacious comeback if they can.
