17-year-old Luke Littler's impact on World Championship darts prompts a discussion about the tournament's future at Alexandra Palace.

World Championship darts' future at Alexandra Palace is under discussion due to the "Luke Littler effect", says Matchroom president Barry Hearn. Hearn likens 17-year-old Littler to Tiger Woods and says he is "the gift that keeps on giving" after bursting onto the scene and taking darts into the mainstream. Ally Pally has hosted the premier tournament since 2008 but has a limited 3,200-capacity venue which sells out in July before even hitting general sale.
