Michael van Gerwen has pulled out of this weekend’s Dutch Darts Championship after releasing a statement announcing he and his wife Daphne have separated.
The Dutchman’s withdrawal from the tournament means scheduled opponent Mickey Mansell will now receive a bye into the third round.
Van Gerwen apologised to fans in a statement posted to X on Saturday while asking for privacy for him and his family.
Highlights of the quarter-final match between Aspinall and Van Gerwen in Sheffield
“It is with great sadness that I inform you that Daphne and I have decided to end our relationship,” Van Gerwen wrote.
“As a result, I have withdrawn from the upcoming tournament.
“I am sorry to disappoint my fans, but I trust that they will understand my decision.
“We are going through difficult times and ask everyone to respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
Van Gerwen saw his Premier League campaign come to an end on Thursday as he was beaten by Nathan Aspinall to miss out on a place in the Play-Offs at The O2 arena.
It was just the second time in 13 Premier League appearances that Van Gerwen has failed to reach the Play-Offs as he ended the season having not recorded a nightly victory since April 2024.

Internacional pode entrar na zona de rebaixamento na 10ª rodada do Brasileirão; veja cenário
Roger Machado, técnico do Internacional (Ricardo Duarte/Inter) O Internacional entra em campo neste final de semana diante do Sport, lanterna do Brasileirão. O clube gaúcho precisa de um bom resultado, já que também não está em situação confortável na competição.

Norris banishes qualifying woes to beat Leclerc to fastest-ever Monaco pole
Lando Norris banished his recent qualifying woes to brilliantly beat home favourite Charles Leclerc and McLaren championship-leading team-mate Oscar Piastri to a first Monaco Grand Prix pole position.At the end of a typically frenetic and gripping qualifying hour around the narrow confines of F1's most-famous track, Norris held provisional pole after the first runs of Q3 and then improved his time twice more as Leclerc briefly usurped him at the top of the timesheet. Norris' pole-winning time 1:09.954 represented a lap record for the iconic Monaco circuit. He finished 0.109 ahead of Leclerc, with Piastri a further 0.066 behind.Lewis Hamilton beat Max Verstappen to fourth but is under investigation after the session for an impeding incident ahead of the Red Bull driver in Q1, which would likely result in a grid penalty were stewards to rule against him.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders attributes ‘99%’ of online scrutiny amid NFL Draft slide to father, Deion Sanders
Getty Images Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders attributes his slide in the 2025 NFL Draft to negative opinions associated with his father, Colorado coach Deion Sanders. Projected as a potential Day 1 selection who slipped to the fifth round, Sanders recently spent a morning at John Marshall High School in Cleveland, where he said his game and star power appeals to a younger generation."They don't care about other people's opinion of you," Sanders said during an interview with Cleveland.com. "They go based off their own — 99% of hatred [directed at me] is toward pops. And then I'm just his son. But [the kids] didn't grow up in an era to where they watched him play. It's just the older generation that does it to me rather than the younger people. Because when I come in person, there's no negativity […]
