DAMON HETA

Damon Heta has made a rapid rise in the PDC since moving over to the UK at the end of 2019. The Perth native shot to fame when he won the 2019 Brisbane Darts Masters, beating James Wade, Gary Anderson, Simon Whitlock and Rob Cross to become only the second regional qualifier to claim a World Series of Darts title.

‘The Heat’ left his home in Australia to move over to the UK ahead of Q-School in January 2020, when he won a PDC tour card to join the professional circuit. Heta picked up his first ranking title with a Players Championship victory less than nine months into his debut season on the ProTour.

Heta made history in 2022 when he teamed up with Simon Whitlock to win Australia’s first PDC World Cup of Darts title, whilst his singles career has seen him pick up tournament victories on the European Tour and Players Championship circuits to break into the world’s top 16.
