Luke Littler will have the chance to win a one-of-a-kind $200,000 prize to bolster his career earnings at the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters later this month.
Two-time world champion Littler, 18, has pocketed around £3.3million during his career so far and will add a significant sum to his prize money if he hits a nine-darter at the event in Riyadh.
Organisers have revealed any player who records the sport’s perfect leg will receive $100,000 and, in a first for the sport, the pot will be doubled if they can then hit the bullseye with one dart.
The Riyadh Season Bullseye constitutes the biggest prize ever awarded by the Professional Darts Corporation for a nine-darter.
The tournament will feature eight PDC professionals – including Luke Littler, World Championship runner-up Gian van Veen and Luke Humphries – and eight representatives from Asia.
A total prize fund of £100,000 is on offer at the World Series of Darts event, which begins on January 19. The winner will take home £30,000.

Nicknamed ‘The Nuke’, the 18-year-old had been renting an exclusive £6,000-per-month property nearby with mother Lisa, 42, and taxi driver father Anthony Buckley, 45, following his extraordinary ascent in the sport.
