The 2025 PDC World Darts Championship is now less than three weeks away, and 17-year-old Luke Littler is the bookies’ favourite for the title after the draw was made yesterday.
Littler is priced at 2/1 to become the youngest ever world darts champion, marginally ahead of the man who beat him in last year’s final with Luke Humphries at 3/1. A full odds list can be found by following this link.

Lukes Littler and Humphries have dominated the sport of darts over the last year, and it’s no surprise the two are priced out in front in the odds list to be crowned 2025 PDC World Darts champion.
The duo have met in three finals over the past 12 months, most notably in the last edition of the World Darts Championship, when a relatively unknown 16-year-old Littler announced himself to the world with a stunning run all the way to the final on debut.
Both players have won three tournaments each since the start of the year, with Humphries leading Littler 2-1 in finals, getting the better of him in last weekend’s Players Championship after missing out to the teenager in the Premier League final.
Humphries also won the World Matchplay in between the two while Littler got his hands on both the World Series and Grand Slam trophies.
Humphries is the number one ranked player and number one seed heading into this year’s championships, while Littler is number four, which unfortunately rules out the chance a rematch in the final due to being on the same side of the draw, though they may meet in the semi.

The next shortest price in the odds list is two-time champion Gary Anderson, who is priced at 10/1 despite not having won a PDC major since 2018.
Michael van Gerwen, who is this year’s tournament’s most successful player having won this competition three times, is 11/1 to win a fourth title after a season of relative struggle having missed on a major title this year for the first time since his first trophy back in 2012.
