It was his first event back after announcing his divorce
He subsequently withdrew from the Dutch Darts Championship and took a break from playing.
But he returned to the sport on Sunday at a Modus event in Waregem, Belgium.
Van Gerwen shared some footage of himself taking to the stage on social media and captioned the post with: "What a phenomenal atmosphere this evening."
However, the former world champion ditched his iconic green shirt for the occasion.

The 36-year-old has changed his trademark strip just once in the last 15 years - at the Winmau World Masters in January.
For a unique occasion, he agreed to wear a special black and gold jersey to celebrate spending five years with the tournament sponsors.
This time, however, Van Gerwen donned a black shirt with green stripes and a bright green logo on the back.
Fans were thrilled to see the Dutchman back in action, with some commenting messages of support on his latest social media post.

DESTINY DAYS Be a great neighbour on Tuesday. Find time for self-care on Friday, and for spontaneous passion on Sunday. LUCKY LINKS Mirrored sunglasses. Music linked to the sea. A family of curly heads. What is your star sign's element? In astrology, the elements — Air, Water, Earth, and Fire signs — serve as foundational principles that influence the characteristics and behaviours associated with the twelve star signs. Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn The Earth signs are grounded in the tangible and practical aspects of life, embodying the stable and nurturing qualities of their element. These signs are known for their pragmatism, reliability, and strong connection to the physical world, often excelling in matters that require patience and persistence. Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius The Air signs are characterised by their intellectual, communicative, and social nature. This reflects the light and dynamic essence of their elemental influence. Overall, these signs tend to excel in the realms of ideas, relationships, and innovation, bringing a breath of fresh air to their interactions and thought processes. Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces The Water element signs are profoundly impacted by their element. With each astrological sign, water gives way to emotional depth, strong intuition, and a capacity for deep empathy and connection. Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius Fuelled by the element of Fire, these fire signs in astrology are known for their passion, boldness, energy, enthusiasm, courage, and a zest for life that often leads them to adventurous and creative endeavours. THREE TIMES BETTER This week, Saturn and Uranus sextile for the second time this year, linking you back to events of early April and looking forward to January 2026. This can upend any sense of stability, but in ways that strengthen you from the inside out. Because you can say what you need to, instead of what you think you should – and you are set to make public at least one set of secret private ambitions. Being proud, not ashamed, of your dreams is a key Cancer personal development – leading up to an announcement in the new year.
