Michael van Gerwen ended a 12 month drought on the European Tour with a superb final win over Luke Humphries 8-6 on Sunday night at the Belgian Darts Open.
Van Gerwen has won 35 tournaments on the European Tour in his career, but has stumbled slightly over the past year.
He also returns to World Number Two today and Van Gerwen said he had one eye on it.

"It means a lot to me," said Van Gerwen.
"You have to defeat really good dart players - Gary Anderson, Josh Rock and in the final someone who is always good on the Euro Tour, Luke Humphries.
"I knew that if I won today I'd be above Peter Wright in the world rankings and of course that's really important.
"You always have to give 100% and that's what I do all the time. Sometimes it doesn't go your way, but I'm a fighter and I never give up, and I keep fighting until the end.
"That's what I did today and that's why I won, and it's really good for myself."
