Duzza — three consecutive BDO World Championships from 2017 to 2019 and PDC Premier League winner in 2020, whose extraordinary title run on the BDO circuit and successful transition to the PDC demonstrated a quality that translated across formats. Durrant's story of personal courage after a brain tumour diagnosis adds a remarkable dimension to an already distinguished career.
Glen Durrant was born in Middlesbrough, England in 1969. He won three consecutive BDO World Championships from 2017 to 2019 — the only player to win three consecutive BDO titles since Phil Taylor's run in the 1990s. He switched to the PDC in 2019 and, confounding those who doubted whether BDO success would translate, won the PDC Premier League in 2020. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2022, requiring surgery and treatment, before returning to competitive darts. His resilience through that experience confirmed a competitive spirit that had been evident throughout his career.
