Career

[edit]

Scott won a PDC Pro Tour Card in 2012[3] and made his major debut at the 2012 UK Open at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton[4] after he qualified via the UK Open Order of Merit.[5] Scott also qualified for the Austrian Darts Open but lost 6–5 in the first round to Denis Ovens.[6]

In 2013, Scott once again qualified for the UK Open, making his televised debut in a 5–2 defeat to James Hubbard.[7] This was shortly followed by qualification for the German Darts Championship, where he lost 6–5 to Arron Monk in the first round.[8]

His two-year PDC Tour Card expired at the beginning of 2014 although he did go on to qualify for the German Darts Championship in 2015, but again lost in the first round to Maik Langendorf.[9]

Scott took part in the amateur Rileys qualifying events for the 2016 UK Open, where he won through from the London Victoria venue to make the finals in Minehead[10] where he was narrowly defeated 5–6 by Dean Winstanley in the first round.[11]

In 2018, Scott qualified for the 2018 UK Open, winning the amateur qualifying event in London Victoria once again.[12] Scott registered his first major tournament victory, defeating Darren Johnson 6–4, before he lost to Jason Lowe in the last 96.[13]

He went on to reach his first ranking final at the Latvia Open, losing 2–6 to Darius Labanauskas[14] and this result propelled him into the top 50 in the World Rankings for the first time.

2019 saw Scott claim his first two BDO ranking titles, first winning the Estonia Open in Tallinn. He followed it up the next day by winning the Estonia Masters.[15] Later that year, Scott moved into a career high position of number two in the World Darts Federation rankings and qualified for the 2019 BDO World Trophy[16], where he lost 3–5 to Wayne Warren.

After the enforced break during the Coronavirus pandemic, he won his third WDF ranking title at the Reykjavik International Games in Iceland. Due to the Russo-Ukrainian War, the WDF, on advice by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), suspended Russian players from the World Championship and this enabled Scott to play in the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship. He was defeated on debut 0–2 by Johnny Haines in the last 48.[17] Shortly after, Scott won his fourth ranking title at the first Kaunas Open in Lithuania, defeating Dennis Nilsson 5–0 in the final.

In 2023, he picked up his fifth and sixth titles at the first Tallinn Open, and Lithuania Open[18] respectively. He went on to receive a late invitation to the 2023 WDF World Darts Championship, where he lost out 0–3 to Leonard Gates of the United States.[19]
