Littler Joins Dutch Masters Field

The 16-player field for the 2024 TOTO Dutch Darts Masters has been confirmed, as three-time World Champion Michael van Gerwen headlines a star-studded line-up on home soil.

The second staging of the TOTO Dutch Darts Masters will also see newly crowned World Champion Luke Humphries and teenage sensation Luke Littler in action from January 26-27 at Maaspoort Den Bosch.

The 16-player tournament – the second event on the 2024 PDC World Series of Darts circuit – will take place across two days in Den Bosch, as eight of the biggest names in the PDC take on eight Benelux representatives.

Dutch superstar Van Gerwen – who won his fifth World Series of Darts Finals title in Amsterdam last September – will headline the list of PDC superstars, which includes world number one Humphries.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Littler – runner-up to Humphries at the World Darts Championship – will also feature, alongside 2023 World Champion Michael Smith.

Former World Champions Peter Wright, Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross have also been included in the line-up, as World Matchplay winner Nathan Aspinall makes his return to the Netherlands.

World number seven Danny Noppert tops the list of Benelux representatives, with 2022 Dutch Darts Masters runner-up Dirk van Duijvenbode bidding to go one step better in Den Bosch.

Van Duijvenbode was beaten by Dimitri Van den Bergh in the tournament’s inaugural staging, and the Belgian number one will return to defend his title in this year’s showpiece.

Five-time World Champion Raymond van Barneveld is set to receive a hero’s welcome on his return to home soil, and the Dutch icon will be joined by Jermaine Wattimena and former UK Open finalist Vincent van der Voort.

European Championship semi-finalist Gian van Veen and Kevin Doets make up the 16-player field, as the pair prepare to make their World Series of Darts debuts following breakthrough 2023 campaigns.

The World Series of Darts circuit will also visit Bahrain, America, Denmark, Poland, Australia and New Zealand during 2024, before the season-ending World Series of Darts Finals takes place in Amsterdam. For ticket information, please see pdc.tv/tickets.
