Littler, 17, was named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year and runner-up to Olympic gold medalist Keely Hodgkinson for the main prize in 2024.
But he’s being tipped to go one better in 11 months time.
Littler secured a comfortable 7-3 victory over Michael van Gerwen to become the youngest ever PDC World Darts Championship winner on January 4.
The Warrington-born teenager averaged just over 102 and threw 12 180s in a darting masterclass as he claimed the £500,000 first prize and lifted the Sid Waddell Trophy for the first time.
It looks a difficult assignment for anyone to topple Littler in the upcoming year, but William Hill make Lando Norris the closest challenger.

The McLaren driver, 25, achieved four race wins in 2024 and will look to go one better this year by beating Max Verstappen to the world title.
Formula One is the second most successful sport in SPOTY history with eight wins from the likes of Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and Lewis Hamilton – only Athletics has more (19).
Hamilton is one of only five people to have won the award more than once, and he’s available at 12/1 to add a third to his collection as he embarks on his new career at Ferrari in 2025.
Lionesses Lucy Bronze and Leah Williamson are next at 12/1 and 16/1 respectively as England bid for more Euros glory in 2025.
