The Wizard — Australia's most successful professional darts player, instantly recognisable by his long beard, flowing hair and smooth throwing style. Whitlock's consistent PDC major performances and outstanding World Cup of Darts record with partner Kyle Anderson established him as the finest player his country has produced.
Simon Whitlock was born in Beverley, East Yorkshire in 1969 and emigrated to Australia as a child. He established himself as the finest Australian player in PDC history, reaching the semi-finals of the PDC World Championship and performing consistently at major events for over a decade. His greatest success came in the World Cup of Darts, where he and Kyle Anderson won the competition for Australia — a remarkable achievement for a country not traditionally associated with darts at the elite level. His distinctive appearance made him one of the circuit's most recognisable personalities.
