Biography

Former Lakeside Champion Stephen Bunting has reinvented himself as a major force on the PDC stage.

Bunting switched from the BDO to the PDC in 2014 after winning the World Championship and quickly made an impact by capturing a UK Open Qualifier and reaching major quarter-finals. A semi-finalist at the 2021 World Championship, “The Bullet” finally claimed his first televised PDC crown at The Masters in January 2024 and has since lifted World Series titles in Bahrain and the Nordic Darts Masters.

With smooth, compact mechanics and an unflappable temperament, Bunting continues to challenge for major honours and reached the semi-finals of the 2025 World Championship.
