You probably could be right what was MVG's last major title win?

Al I hope it is a great Final to watch & savour I thnk Dobey will be pleased with reaching semis

Would Littler beating MVG be regarded as an upset?

2023 World Series Of Darts Finals defeating Nathan Aspinall 11-5. But the one which i would class as an official major is when he beat Gerwyn Price in the 2023 Premier League Final 11-5.

Of course not as he is expected to be the future of Darts.

At the tender age of 17 Luke Littler is now the new WORLD CHAMPION after a 7-3 triumph over three time former winner Michael van Gerwen at Alexandra Palace.

Luke Littler is the 2025 Champion Of The World for the first time after defeating Michael Van Gerwen 7-3 , Littler is also the Youngest World Champion ever at the Age of 17 surpassing MVG who was 24.

that will stand for quite some time - the age of the champion.How many more 16-17 year olds are looking at darts as a career?

Now we hope Lttler can live with the pressures that go along with being world champion and everything else I have no doubt he could easily do the same kind of dominance as Phil Taylor or even MVG himself, but I think it is important that he sits down and looks at the bigger picture and see how far he really wants to go. I'm not saying has he peaked too soon or not, but I think we all need to give him the time and space and patience to slowly unveil to us of what he is capable of without rushing him.

Fair do's, he got it done. Props also to MvG, an apt choice in the circumstances.
