But Luke Littler will be out to stop him.

The two-time PDC world champion was beaten by Gerwyn Price in Bahrain.

However, he’s in Saudi Arabia and will be looking to claim this trophy.

For the winner, there is £30,000 up for grabs, but the bigger incentive is for a nine-darter.

If any player hits a nine-darter, they will be given £75,000, and then, a further £75,000 is up for grabs.

This can be earned through one dart at bullseye, and if they hit it, the prize doubles.

Saudi Arabia Darts Masters: What has been said?

Paolo Nebrida was set to take on Van Gerwen, but he has been forced to withdraw from the tournament.

Nebrida has had to withdraw though illness.

But he has been replaced by Indian history-maker Nitish Kumar.

At the Alexandra Palace, Kumar became the first Indian darts player to make it past the first round.

This was confirmed in a statement from the PDC, which said: “Nitin Kumar will replace Paolo Nebrida in the field for the 2026 Riyadh Season Darts Masters following Nebrida’s withdrawal from the event due to illness.

“Kumar, who made history as the first Indian player to taste victory on the Alexandra Palace stage at the 2025/26 World Darts Championship, comes into the 16-player field as one of eight Asian Representatives.”
