The Bullet — 2014 BDO World Champion who made a seamless switch to the PDC and became one of its most consistent major performers, reaching the PDC World Championship final in 2024 to confirm that his best-ever level remained competitive against the game's current elite.
Stephen Bunting was born in Bedford, England on 25 December 1985. He won the BDO World Championship in 2014 and then joined the PDC, where the standard of competition is generally considered higher. He became one of a small number of players to have succeeded at the top level of both organisations, reaching the PDC World Championship final in 2024 — a decade after his BDO title — and confirming that his ability had not diminished. His compact throwing action and consistent doubles finishing have kept him competitive against players a decade younger.

Bunting reached the PDC World Championship final in 2024 — ten years after winning the BDO title — making him one of very few players to have achieved major finals in both organisations across a decade.
