Jose de Sousa has officially dropped off the professional tour 🥺 It was unreal whilst it lasted - one of the great darting mavericks 🇵🇹

Four players won their maiden titles on this year’s European Tour, which was held across nine countries 🇪🇺

Every player Niels Zonneveld beat this weekend is either a major champion or European Tour winner. A remarkable run to an elusive title - a deserved one after a brilliant year. The European Tour still unfolds the greatest stories.

How Niels Zonnveld sealed an elusive European Tour title, becoming the first homegrown winner of the Dutch Darts Championship 🏆🇳🇱

Justin Hood now holds the unwanted tag of being the highest-ranked player without a ranking title following Niels Zonneveld’s win. Zonneveld is the 53rd of the current world’s top 64 to claim a ranking title.

Fred Krueger qualifying for the World Darts Championship in his debut year on the North American Tour is some story. He turned up to the Port City Open in February and won his spot on the CDC tour by chance as a complete unknown.

Ross Smith reacts to Mensur Suljovic’s questionable antics in their Swiss Darts Trophy third round match 💬

Beau Greaves records the highest tournament-winning average in PDC Women’s Series history and wins her 62nd title 🏆

Very naughty behaviour from Mensur Suljovic to reach the Swiss Trophy quarter-finals. He has always been a master of the dark arts but this oversteps the mark. Expect DRA involvement.

For the second year in a row, Luke Littler is beaten in the World Youth Championship semi-finals… 2025 (105.02) Greaves 6-5 Littler (107.40) 2026 (97.91) Crabtree 6-5 Littler (97.89)

This was spectacular from Luke Humphries last night. Miss and he’s almost certainly 4-0 down in a World Grand Prix final. Nerves of absolute steel. 🤯

(100.03) Littler 6-4 Cook (100.40) An incredible effort from 16-year-old Lewis Cook at the World Youth Championship as Luke Littler comes from 3-0 down.

Another sickening one for Gerwyn Price but reaching three successive major finals is an incredible achievement in itself. He’s playing too well not to end that drought soon, especially with the Grand Slam being just around the corner - a place he has fond memories of.
