Adrian Lewis takes year-long break from competitive darts after losing PDC Tour Card

Adrian Lewis, a two-time world darts champion, will take a year off from competitive play after losing his PDC Tour Card due to inactivity. He plans to participate only in exhibitions and the Modus Super Series during this time. Lewis, 39, aims to return to competitive darts in 2026, possibly through Qualifying School. He expressed a desire to regain his passion for the game and focus fully on winning a third world title. His break coincides with the rise of 17-year-old Luke Littler, the youngest world champion. Lewis remains confident in his ability to compete with top players upon his return.
