Arron Monk has regained his place on the PDC Tour by winning his Tour Card at Q-School on Thursday.
The 32-year-old, a four-time participant at the PDC World Championship, has recently spent time on the WDF Tour after losing his playing privileges with the PDC.
However, Monk is now a full-time member again after winning the UK event on day one, impressively losing just four legs in his final three matches.
Although he found himself 3-2 adrift to Dom Taylor in the final, four successive legs secured his spot back on the tour.

In the European event, Jeffrey Sparidaans was the surprise winner as he earned a Tour Card for the first time in his career.
The 29-year-old, whose most notable appearance in a major event was featuring in the preliminary round of the 2018 BDO World Championship, defeated Belgian veteran Ronny Huybrechts 6-2 in the final.
High-profile names Max Hopp and Jeffrey De Zwann lost in the last 16, while former Lakeside world champion Jelle Klaasen was eliminated in the last 32.
Meanwhile, Fallon Sherrock put herself in contention to earn a Tour Card for the first time by reaching the quarter-finals of the UK event.
Sherrock impressively defeated Josh Payne in her opening match before surviving match darts to edge out Ryan Harrington, but she eventually succumbed to Stephen Burton by a 6-4 scoreline.
