English · Ledbury, Herefordshire, England · Born 26 September 1963Terry Jenkins, nicknamed "the Bull," is an English former professional darts player who reached a career-high world ranking of four and was runner-up in nine PDC major finals.
Nine major PDC televised finals without a title — including the 2006 and 2007 World Grand Prix and the 2007 Premier League — is the extraordinary and unwanted record Terry Jenkins built across a decade as one of the circuit's most consistent performers. Jenkins became one of the PDC's most consistent performers of the late 2000s, reaching nine major televised finals — the 2006 and 2007 World Grand Prix, the 2007 Premier League, the 2007 Las Vegas Desert Classic, the 2007 and 2009 World Matchplay, and the 2008 Grand Slam of Darts — without winning any of them, an unwanted record for the most televised final defeats without a major title. He reached the World Championship semi-final in 2011, his best run at darts' biggest event. Despite the lack of a major title, Jenkins won six Players Championships and reached a career-high ranking of world number three (some sources cite four), and won the Antwerp Open three years running from 2005 to 2007. He also achieved a televised nine-dart finish during his career. Jenkins remained a professional until 2018 and later continued to compete on the World Seniors circuit, reaching the semi-finals of its World Championship in 2022, extending a competitive career that has spanned five decades.
