LUKE LITTLER is taking a well-earned weekend off and skipping the International Darts Open.
The reigning world champion, 18, will not be at the event in Riesa, Germany, this weekend.
Littler has already racked up over £700,000 in prize money in 2025.
The Nuke has wowed fans with some scintillating performances, smashing records along the way.
But German fans will not be able to watch Littler strut his stuff at the SACHSENarena.
Littler has chosen to take the weekend off amidst a packed schedule.
World No1 Luke Humphries will be in attendance, along with Premier League stars Rob Cross, Nathan Aspinall and Gerwyn Price.
Littler has been in electric form since winning his maiden PDC world title on January 3.
He will however appear in Berlin on Thursday in Week 5 of the Premier League.
The Nuke bagged £500,000 for beating Michael van Gerwen 7-3 at Ally Pally.

Faith is from Wigan, just 15 miles from the darts star's Warrington home.
Both Littler and Faith are said to have played down their friendship, emphatically insisting that they are not in a romantic relationship.
Littler's team declined to comment on the matter when approached by SunSport.
