Littler became a sporting millionaire and lifted his first major rankings crown after winning 15 straight legs in a 16-3 defeat of Martin Lukeman.
And a devotee of darts data has come up with a foreboding fact for the wonderkid’s rivals at the Ally Pally next month.
The oche expert pointed out that the last two Grand Slam winners have gone on to become world champions weeks later.
That’s Michael Smith in 2022 and Luke Humphries last year – via a thrilling final victory over Littler.
Littler has now scooped 10 titles in 11 months, including the the Premier League and World Series Finals successes.
And the teen hero from Warrington racked up more mindboggling figures in Wolverhampton over the past week.
He averaged 107.08 and landed 12 maximums in recovering from 2-0 down to destroy Lukeman and soar to No 5 in the world rankings
Over the whole tournament Littler amassed 60 180s and 10 ton-plus checkouts.

Another posted: “Luke Littler is not just the future of darts—he’s the now.”
A third wrote: “15 in a row is just foul – generational darts player.
But one viewer won’t win many awards for clairvoyance with his own prediction: “Someone with Luke in their name to win!”
