Phil Taylor responds to criticism of Fallon Sherrock winning £501,000 for beating Luke Littler

Phil Taylor praised Fallon Sherrock for ‘changing her life’ after she won £501,000 by beating world champion Luke Littler in a single leg of darts. Littler, 19, defeated 14 amateurs on the live Netflix show, Beat Luke Littler, before losing to former World Championship star Sherrock . Netflix said the event was giving ‘amateurs a chance at life-changing money’ and host Gary Lineker described Sherrock as a ’32 year-old hairdresser from Milton Keynes’.
