It’s an all-English showdown in the World Grand Prix final as Luke Littler goes head-to-head with Luke Humphries. The stakes are high, with not only the prestigious title on the line but also a hefty cash prize awaiting the champion. Teenage sensation Luke Littler has once again found himself in a major final, set to take on his longtime rival Luke Humphries in the highly anticipated event of the World Grand Prix. Littler, the 2025 world champion, put on a stellar performance in the semi-finals against Welshman Johnny Clayton, hitting an impressive 10 180s. He will be looking to carry that same level of play into his match against Humphries. On the other side of the court, Humphries secured his spot in the final by defeating Danny Noppert in the last four, marking his third consecutive final appearance in this competition. As is customary in such major events, there is a significant amount of prize money up for grabs. While it may not quite measure up to the £500,000 Littler received for his World Championships win earlier in the year, the victor of tonight’s match will still walk away with a substantial £120,000.
The exact net worth of Littler remains undisclosed to the public, but it’s no secret that the young star from Warrington has amassed quite a fortune during his time at the top of the sport. The prize money up for grabs tonight will undoubtedly bolster his financial standing. At just 18 years old, Littler has already achieved millionaire status, thanks in part to the unwavering support of his family. It is projected that his net worth will exceed £20m over the course of his career. After clinching the title of youngest world champion earlier in the year, Littler was seen sharing a touching moment with his brother Leon, as he handed him a handful of cash. The joyous occasion extended to the entire family as they left Ally Pally with smiles from ear to ear, with dad proudly carrying the Sid Waddell trophy. If Littler emerges victorious tonight, it’s highly likely that he will once again share his success with his loved ones.
Littler, known to be a fervent fan of EA SPORTS FC and an avid gamer and football enthusiast, has made some notable purchases with his winnings. Following his triumph at the Players Championship 20 in September 2024, he revealed that his most significant splurge was on a bag, though the brand remains a mystery. With aspirations of learning to drive on the horizon, Littler has his eye on a Mercedes A-Class as his vehicle of choice, a step up from his previous interest in the Ford Focus. Despite the hectic nature of his schedule, he plans to squeeze in driving lessons before it’s too late. Reflecting on his journey from a young darting hopeful to a millionaire, Littler shared his initial struggles with skepticism from peers but emphasized the perseverance that has brought him to where he is today. Speaking about his upcoming final showdown with Humphries, Littler expressed his determination to avenge a previous defeat and potentially secure the world number one spot.
