DANNY NOPPERT has revealed his success at the oche is being driven by the support of his girlfriend Mandy.
The Dutch ace has lifted the lid on the huge role his partner plays behind the scenes, giving him the freedom to chase every opportunity on the circuit.
World No11 Noppert admits when it comes to taking on extra tournaments or exhibitions, the answer from home is always clear.
He said: “It’s my lifestyle. The most important thing is that my family is behind me. They support me really well.
“If I ask my girlfriend if there is a tournament or an exhibition to play, she says do everything. She’s really behind me.
“She gives me the confidence that I need.”
Noppert also insists the hectic darts calendar is not as demanding as some make out.
He added: “I think if I play Premier League then I can say it’s a busy schedule.
“So for me it’s okay now. Last week we played a tournament, this weekend we played a tournament, so I have a lot of time at home.
“It’s not that busy, but I enjoy everything, every moment, so that’s most important. If you enjoy every moment in darts, then yeah.”

‘The Freeze’ enjoyed a hugely consistent 2025 season, reaching the semi-finals of FOUR PDC major events and making the final at the Hungarian Darts Trophy.
Noppert has continued that form into this campaign, reaching back-to-back quarter-finals at the World Masters and UK Open.
The 35-year-old has set his sights on winning a maiden European Tour title this season as he looks to climb the rankings.
He continued: “Yeah, of course I want to be back in the top eight again, but top 10 is, of course, a good result.
“Of course I won Pro Tours before and I won a major. The European Tour —once, maybe more — but it’s on my bucket list.
“Hopefully I will do it and if I play like this, what I did today, then everything is possible. It’s on my list.”
