Michael van Gerwen will make his first appearance since losing to Luke Littler in the World Darts Championship final as he defends his title at the Dutch Darts Masters later this month.

The Dutchman could get a chance for revenge, with Littler and world No.1 Luke Humphries also set to feature in a star-studded field at the World Series of Darts in 's-Hertogenbosch on January 24 and 25.
