THE European Tour heads to Germany for the fourth event of this season’s schedule.
Munich will host the German Darts Grand Prix over Easter weekend.
Luke Littler has once again decided not to make the trip to Germany, making it the second tournament in four that he has missed.
The Nuke has skipped both German events so far, only taking part in Poland and Belgium.
Other names, such as Gian van Veen and Michael van Gerwen, will be taking part in the tournament this weekend.
SunSport can share everything you need to know ahead of the tournament in Munich.

The event will then conclude on Monday, April 6.

Why is Luke Littler not playing at the German Darts Grand Prix?
Luke Littler is not playing this weekend, likely due to wanting a break from the darting schedule.
He has previously spoken about how he struggles with the hectic schedule the darts calendar currently undergoes, and is in the midst of the Premier League Darts season.
Moreover, Littler has previously had issues with booing when he plays German events.
That means the Nuke is more likely to skip the German European Tour events to take time off and recharge.
