Luk who's back
Luke Littler has not featured in any pro event other than the Premier League since his run at the German Darts Grand Prix back in April.
The Nuke opted to skip the last four European Tour events to focus on the Premier League.
But Littler is expected to compete at the Nordic Darts Masters this week as he looks to add to his two World Series of Darts titles.
The world champion will take on Swedish newcomer Viktor Tingstrom in the first round of the tournament.
It will be Littler's Nordic Darts Masters debut after he withdrew from last year's edition due to family commitments.

Welcome to SunSport's coverage of the Nordic Darts Masters
THIS season's European tour continues with the return of the Nordic Darts Masters - and some of the best throwers are set to compete TONIGHT in Copenhagen.
Gerwyn Price beat Rob Cross 8-5 in a gruelling final to take home last year's crown.
And the Welsh superstar will be determined to win back-to-back titles following his disappointing Premier League Finals defeat to crowd favourite Luke Littler.
Speaking of Littler, the teen sensation takes part in the Nordic Darts Masters this year after missing out in 2024 due to family commitments.
He'll be desperate to make amends for losing out on the £275k jackpot after losing in the showpiece match to Luke Humphries at the Premier League Finals - someone who is also competing in Copenhagen.
Stephen Bunting, Nathan Aspinall and Rob Cross are all on the big lineup too, but Michael van Gerwen has withdrawn as he is dealing with his divorce from wife Daphne.

Betfred Epsom Derby Offer: Bet £10 on the Derby and get £50 in free bets
Betfred are offering £50 in bonuses to anyone who signs up for a new account and bets £10 on football this weekend! When it comes to bookmakers, Betfred is one of the most popular in the market, and they offer great value to horse racing fans as the Epsom Derby Festival. This weekend, the historic Epsom Downs will once again be the focal point of the racing world as The Derby, the crown jewel of flat racing, takes centre stage. Since its inception in 1780, this legendary event has enchanted audiences far and wide. The Derby is one of two esteemed Classics taking place over the weekend. It kicks off with The Oaks on Friday, a race for fillies covering a mile and a half, setting the stage for Saturday's main attraction: The Derby. This is where colts compete over the same distance, in a spectacle that consistently garners global attention. The racing season began last month at Newmarket with the 1000 Guineas and 2000 Guineas, which similarly featured separate races for fillies and colts over matching distances. The allure of The Derby is irrefutable, drawing in spectators from across the UK and beyond. Since Diomed's victory in 1780, when he secured £1,065 for Sir Charles Bunbury, the race has soared in both prestige and viewership. This year's victor stands to win a hefty £918,702. With up to 20 horses expected after final declarations on Wednesday, the competition promises to be intense. Delacroix currently heads the betting odds at around 3/1, but Godolphin's entry, trained by Charlie Appleby, is also a formidable contender. Notably, this year lacks a clear frontrunner—a trend seen in recent years. City Of Troy won as a 3/1 favourite last year, while Desert Crown clinched victory at 5/2 odds in 2022. As race day nears, excitement mounts for what is sure to be another exhilarating chapter in The Derby's illustrious history.
