DARTS returns to our screens this week as teenage sensation Luke Littler looks to win his second tournament in successive weeks.

The 17-year-old starlet picked up his first piece of silverware in Bahrain last week, beating Michael van Gerwen in the final.

Littler missed out on World Championship glory to Luke Humphries at the beginning of the month, but picked up a cool £200,000 for his troubles.

And in beating Van Gerwen, Littler won another £20,000 for his victory in the Middle East.

Should he win in it all in the Netherlands this weekend, he will take home another hefty darts payday.

But with a target now on his back, Littler will have to remain on top form against his fellow pros.
