Littler outlined his goals for greater glory in 2025, but claimed he has already achieved his ultimate goal.
On what the rest of the year holds for him, Littler told Sky Sports: “Whatever.” I could end 2025 without winning absolutely anything, but I have won the best (prize).
“I want to win more than 10 titles this year, but if I end 2025 with nothing, I will have won the big one.”
“I can't believe it,” Littler said after the game. “Everyone dreams of lifting this trophy and to achieve it is incredible. I said I needed a fast start and I got it, but Michael was always behind me. To achieve it when I did was special.”
Littler beat Michael van Gerwen to become the youngest winner of the trophy.
Van Gerwen acknowledged that Littler was the superior player that night.
“Fair play to him, every opportunity he had, he took it,” the Dutchman said. 'Of course it hurts, but that's part of being an athlete. He is a star and he deserved it.
Littler received £500,000 in prize money after beating van Gerwen and is expected to make further significant wins over the next decade.
Having already established himself as one of England's most popular sports stars, Littler's popularity looks set to continue to rise.
