PHIL TAYLOR has not ruled out Luke Littler surpassing his record of 16 world titles because he has a 12-year head start.
'The Power' was 29 when he landed the first of his world championship crowns in 1990 by demolishing his mentor Eric Bristow in the final.
But Littler conquered the globe at 17 when he beat Michael van Gerwen to become the youngest darts world champion.
Taylor was 52 when he wore the PDC World Championship crown for the last time in 2013.
Taylor watched 'Luke the Nuke' go nuclear at Alexandra Palace on Friday night, and said: "It's entirely up to Luke how long he plays, how dedicated he remains and how many titles he wins.
"For now, just let the kid play. He's a world champion at 17, and he's just brilliant.
