Two-time world champion Adrian Lewis will make comeback in May after more than two years' absence
MODUS
Adrian Lewis will soon be making his comeback in competition. The two-time world champion has announced that he will participate in a week of play on the MODUS Super Series in May.
Lewis made his announcement in a video on the X channel of the online darts competition. "Hello, I'm Adrian Lewis, two-time back-to-back PDC world darts champion. I'm looking forward to playing in the Modus Super Series sometime in May, so stay tuned," he revealed.
It will be Lewis' first competitive appearance since he temporarily paused from darts in April 2023. 'Jackpot' caused a huge shock at the time by putting his career on hold. "After more than 20 years, I feel I need a break from the professional circuit. Huge thanks to my fans and sponsors for the support,'' Lewis wrote at the time.
It later turned out that more was at play in the background. Lewis' wife Sarah was struggling with an incurable kidney disease, while together they also have a daughter with autism who requires a lot of care. Lewis did not want to leave that care to his wife alone. Last year Lewis, who did do some exhibitions in between, already hinted cautiously at a return to darts. He signed a contract with MODUS Darts, a leading management in professional darts. 'Jackpot' expressed his desire to discover this year whether he is ready to return to the PDC circuit in 2026.
PDC boss Barry Hearn previously revealed that Lewis need not count on preferential treatment upon a return. “It’s not about what you used to do – it’s about what you can do," Hearn said. “Does he have to go through Q School? Yeah. We’d welcome him back with open arms. He’s a great lad and a great player. He has had his own personal problems. Which he has to come to terms with. But they are not our problems, they are his problems and it is up to him to solve them.”

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
