Amateur darts players battle Luke Littler for big jackpot
- On Monday, Netflix announced darts player Luke Littler will headline a new live event titled 'Beat Luke Littler,' offering a £501,000 prize to any amateur who defeats the 19-year-old world number one.
- Littler's series announcement follows his second consecutive Betfred World Matchplay title in Blackpool on Sunday, where he defeated Gerwyn Price 18-9 and hit 66 maximums during the tournament.
- Aspiring contestants can apply now for open regional heats scheduled in London and Manchester this September, with 20 successful applicants chosen to face the champion live on air.
- The Banijay-backed Workerbee production will air live on October 30, according to Netflix, which formed its live team earlier this year under the leadership of Daisy Lilley.
- Organizers designed the prize as a reference to the 501 points players must reduce to zero in a standard game, positioning the contest as a test of skill against the sport's elite.
