Career edit
At Q-School in 2022, van Dongen won his Tour Card by finishing second on the European Q-School Order of Merit, to get himself a two-year card on the PDC circuit.
Van Dongen qualified as a seed for the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship, which he was allowed to play after getting special dispensation from the PDC, but he would lose in the second round to Ryan de Vreede of the Netherlands.
Having lost his tour card at the end of 2023 by being outside the top 64 of the PDC rankings, van Dongen immediately won his Tour Card back at the 2024 European QSchool.
