Van der Voort – who has a history of back problems and also suffers “from gout and a sagging foot” – will play this year on the MODUS Super Series, which will be screened on Pluto TV.
Van der Voort – who is close pals with the Netherlands' three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen – is known for speaking his mind and ruffling feathers with the authorities.
Few fans, however, realised the truth behind his plummeting ranking in 2024 – he was frequently visiting his dying sister Leomi, 50, in hospital and was also comforting her three children during these tough times.
The two-time world championship quarter-finalist said: “I was going to ProTours, then coming back to the hospital every day, sitting there with my sister.
OCHE ace Vincent van der Voort says there was a family heartbreak behind his decision to "retire" from the PDC.
