As the 2025 Dutch Darts Masters fast approaches, fans want to know if reigning world champion Luke Littler is in action this weekend in the Netherlands. We can confirm that ‘The Nuke’ is in the line-up and will aim to go one better than his runner-up finish 12 months ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is Luke Littler Playing At The 2025 Dutch Darts Masters?<\/h2>\n

The second World Series of Darts tournament of the year is here, as 16 professional darts players head to the Netherlands this weekend for the 2025 Dutch Darts Masters.<\/p>\n

The Dutch Masters is made up of 16 players, which includes eight PDC representatives alongside eight Benelux representatives too.<\/p>\n

The event isn’t too dissimilar to the Bahrain Darts Masters, which Stephen Bunting won last weekend. In fact, the format is the exact same as last week’s tournament in Bahrain, bar different players.<\/p>\n

Luke Littler<\/a> is confirmed as one of the 16 players in the Dutch Darts Masters line-up. ‘The Nuke’ will be aiming to go on better than 12 months ago, where he was a beaten finalist in Den Bosch, Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Michael van Gerwen<\/a> defeated Littler 8-6 in the final in what was a thrilling encounter. This year, the 18-year-old will be aiming to win the lot, including the \u00a330,000 purse thanks to the increased Dutch Darts Masters prize money<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is ‘The Nuke’ The Dutch Masters Favourite?<\/h3>\n

According to the\u00a0best betting apps in the UK<\/a>, Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler is the player the rest of the field have to beat, as he has been installed as the 2025 Dutch Masters pre-tournament favourite.<\/p>\n

Behind him is\u00a0Luke Humphries<\/a>, who Littler beat in the quarter-final 12 months ago. ‘Coolhand’ is the 10\/3 second favourite this year, but is of course the reigning world number one so write him off at your peril.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s winner Michael van Gerwen (6\/1) is third in the betting market, with the in-form\u00a0Gerwyn Price<\/a>\u00a0(8\/1) next in line. Fresh off the back of his Bahrain Darts Masters win last week, Stephen Bunting is also priced at 8\/1 as the fifth favourite.<\/p>\n

It comes as no surprise to see Luke Littler<\/a> the most favoured\u00a0to go on to lift the Toon Grebe Trophy, but could any of his counterparts stop him?<\/p>\n
