Dominic Taylor[3] (born 15 April 1998)[4] is an English professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He obtained a PDC Tour Card in 2024. Taylor won a Development Tour title in 2021 and a Challenge Tour in 2023.

Career

[edit ]

2019

[edit ]

Taylor began playing in PDC events in 2019, featuring on the PDC Development Tour. He qualified for the 2019 PDC World Youth Championship but failed to get out of his group with Ben Cheeseman and Connor Scutt.[5]

2021

[edit ]

His results on the Development Tour in 2020 saw him make his PDC premier event debut at the 2021 UK Open.[6] He won his first round game but was whitewashed 6–0 by Gary Blades in the second round.[7]

Taylor achieved early success on the 2021 UK Development Tour, reaching the final in each of the first four events, including the third event where he won his first Development Tour title, defeating Jack Male 5–4 in legs in the final.[8] [9] [10] He finished the year 4th on the 2021 UK Development Tour Order of Merit.

2023

[edit ]

Taylor picked up his first PDC Challenge Tour title in 2023, winning the final 5–2 against Cam Crabtree.[11] [12] Taylor received multiple invitations to play in PDC Players Championship events due to his success on the Challenge Tour in 2023. He reached the semi finals of Players Championship 28, bowing out to eventual champion Ross Smith.[13]

2024

[edit ]

Taylor played at 2024 PDC UK Qualifying School (Q-School) in order to obtain a Tour Card. He lost in the Day Two final 6–2 against Robert Grundy.[14] However, he won his tour card outright by winning the Day Four final 6–1 against Joshua Richardson.[15]

Taylor reached the quarter-finals at Players Championship 24, averaging 103.65 in a 6–5 defeat to Gary Anderson who averaged 108.78.[16]

Positive drugs test

[edit ]

Taylor was due to play in the Players Championship Finals, where he was supposed to play 2023 World Champion Michael Smith in the first round. However, it was announced before the tournament that the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) had suspended Taylor as a result of a positive drugs test taken at a Players Championship event. Taylor was replaced in the event by Nick Kenny.[3] [17] He had also qualified for the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship via the Pro Tour Order of Merit, but was replaced by Robert Owen.[18] [19] Taylor received a one-month ban after the banned substance was found to not be performance-enhancing and was ingested out of competition. He was originally expected to return to competition at the 2025 PDC World Masters,[20] but withdrew prior to the preliminary round group stage.
