Two young darts stars challenge Littler

A new generation of stars is rising in the world of darts. Two young players are coming up behind 19-year-old two-time world champion Luke Littler. 15-year-old Mitchell Lawrie and 14-year-old Jayden Walker will try their luck against the world number one at Netflix's "Beat Luke Littler" event.

A total of 24 finalists are taking part in the event. If one of the finalists beats Littler, the event will end and that player will take the prize. The prize is 501 thousand pounds. To get past all of his opponents, Littler must win 24 legs in a row.

Lawrie has played Littler before and was close to winning when he lost 3-2. He also holds the record as the youngest player to win a match at the World Darts Federation World Championship. Lawrie said he is eager to win the money.

The Scottish player turns 16 next week. He also revealed that he plans to take part in the PDC Q-School in 2027. This school offers a chance to earn a two-year professional tour card.
