Oskar Lukasiak and Benjamin Drue Reus shared the titles on the penultimate weekend of this year’s PDC Nordic & Baltic Pro Tour in Oslo.

The Best Western Plus Oslo Airport played host to the Nordic and Baltic Pro Tour Events 9 and 10, along with a trio of qualifiers where spots in the last three European Tour events of the season were up for grabs during a busy three days of action in the Norwegian capital.

Sweden’s Lukasiak, a current PDC tour card holder, won his first title of the season, and third of his career, after edging past the new PDCNB Pro Tour number one Daniel Larsson 6-5 in the Event 10 final.

The 34-year-old fought back from 3-0 and 4-1 down to pip Larsson in a last-leg decider, taking out 68 for a 15 darter in the final leg with the throw.

Lukasiak’s run to the title on Sunday began with a trio of wins over Danish opponents, beating Bent Lambertsen (6-3), Andreas Hyllgaardhus (6-3) and Jonas Sørensen (6-2) to reach the quarter-finals.

In the last eight, the Swede held off a late comeback from Finland’s Petri Rasmus to prevail 6-4, before denying his compatriot Anton Östlund a first-ever PDCNB final appearance, advancing as a 6-3 winner in their semi-final clash.

Larsson looked in firm control in the final, racing into a 3-0 lead with winning legs in 16, 15 and 16 darts, before Lukasiak got off the mark with an 87 checkout on the bull in the fourth leg.

An 83 finish in two darts saw Larsson break again and regain a three-leg advantage at 4-1, but Lukasiak rallied with a quartet of six-visit legs helping him to go in front for the first time at 5-4.

Lukasiak was sat waiting on 60 for the match in the next leg, only for Larsson to take out a match-saving 104 checkout on tops to force a decider. However, it was Lukasiak who prevailed in five visits in the 11th leg to clinch his first title of the season.

On Saturday, Reus made a winning return to the Nordic and Baltic Pro Tour circuit by winning Event 9 with a 6-4 victory over Finland’s Teemu Harju in the final.

The former PDC tour card holder, who was making his first appearance on the tour since July 2025, held his nerve from 4-4 with legs of 12 and 16 darts to pick up his second Nordic and Baltic Pro Tour title and first since 2023.

Reus started off his title charge with a 6-0 whitewash of Andreas Hyllgaardhus, in an all-Danish affair, before further victories over Jani Laurilla (6-2) and Jakob Skovgård (6-5) saw him progress into the quarter-finals.

The 27-year-old got the better of a pair of current tour card holders in the next two rounds, defeating Lukasiak (6-3) and Viktor Tingström (6-4), overturning a 4-0 deficit against the latter to make it through to the final.

Harju, the winner of last year’s inaugural PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship, was appearing in his first final of the season and got off the mark with a 140 checkout in the second leg.

The Finn claimed the first break of throw in the final in leg five to lead 3-2, before Reus reeled off four of the next five legs to secure a title in his first appearance in a Pro Tour event in 13 months.

Elsewhere, Denmark’s Michael Hansen booked a European Tour debut next month after winning the Flanders Darts Trophy Nordic & Baltic Qualifier on Friday.

Finland’s PDC World Cup of Darts pairing Jani Haavisto and Jonas Masalin also clinched their next appearances on the big stage.

Haavisto prevailed in the Swiss Darts Trophy Nordic & Baltic Qualifier on Friday, while the next day Masalin completed a hat-trick of qualifying success this season with a victory in the Dutch Darts Championship Nordic & Baltic Qualifier.

The PDCNB Pro Tour season concludes with Events 11 and 12 in Tallin, Estonia from September 26-27.

The top two players on the PDCNB Pro Tour rankings following Event 12 will qualify for the 2026/27 PDC World Darts Championship, with Larsson and Cor Dekker the two players currently occupying those positions with one weekend of events left to go.
