THE European Tour returns this week as some of the sports’ top stars head to the German Darts Championship.
Last year saw Ricardo Pietreczko triumph in his native country after he beat Peter Wright 8-4 to claim his first PDC ranking title.
Reigning world champion Luke Humphries will not be in action in Hildesheim as he takes a well-deserved holiday with his family.
Luke Littler is amongst the seeded players that will take to the Oche in Germany, along with three-time winner Michael van Gerwen.
