He qualified for the 2023 European Championship, held in late-October, and reached his first PDC major semi-final. He achieved victories against Damon Heta, Daryl Gurney and Michael van Gerwen. He lost to James Wade 11–9 in the semi-finals.

Van Veen made his PDC World Championship debut in the 2024 edition. He was eliminated in the first round by Hong Kong qualifier Man Lok Leung, who overturned a 2–0 deficit to defeat Van Veen 3–2 in a major upset.
Van Veen won two 2024 Development Tour (DT) titles: DT5 on 25 February, with a 5–0 whitewash of Dylan Slevin in the final; and DT7 on 3 May, with a 5–1 win against Nathan Rafferty.
On 22 September 2024, he reached his third Pro Tour final. In his first PDC European Tour final, he finished as runner-up after missing a match dart at the bullseye. He was defeated by Michael van Gerwen 8–7. In November, he reached his second PDC major quarter-final at the Grand Slam. He was defeated by Gary Anderson 16–14.
