LUKE LITTLER has addressed fears he could burnout as he celebrated making his debut on the German Darts Grand Prix.
The Nuke has been travelling all over the world since bursting on to the darts scene as a 16-year-old at the 2023/24 World Darts Championship.
In that time he has soared to World No2, won seven major PDC titles and been crowned World Champion.
But despite the many accolades he already has to his name, Littler is looking to add even more to his record after making his debut at the German Grand Prix in Munich.
Littler was unable to qualify for the tournament in 2024.
However, he marked his first appearance in Bavaria with a 6-1 thrashing against Cam Crabtree to book his spot in the third round against Joe Cullen.
The top seed averaged above 107 and won all his legs in 15 or fewer darts.
Speaking on his win, Littler told DartsNews: “It’s a new city and a new tour for me as I didn’t come last year. First game, first win – hopefully I can get many more wins here.”
It has been a gruelling travel schedule for Littler over the last week.
He played in the Players Championship in the Netherlands on Tuesday and Premier League Night 11 in Rotterdam two days later before travelling to Germany for the Grand Prix.

However, Littler has insisted any fears he could suffer a burnout are misplaced.
He said: “I wouldn’t say it’s a struggle it’s part of the calendar.
