Adam Hunt (born 21 August 1993) is an English professionaldarts player who competes inProfessional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He has won titles on both of the PDC's secondary tours: four titles on the Development Tour; and two on the Challenge Tour.
A currentPDC Tour Card holder, he is a two-timePro Tour quarter-finalist: reaching the last eight at the2014 Gibraltar Darts Trophy and 2018 Players Championship 14.
His best performance in a PDC major is reaching the last 16 of the2020 Grand Slam. His best World Championship performance is reaching the last 32 at the2021 PDC World Championship.
Hunt began competing in PDC events in 2011 and won his first tournament in his second month, beating Josh Jones 4–2 in the final of the opening youth tour event of the year.[4] In 2012 he qualified for theUK Open for the first time and defeatedSteve Maish 4–2, before losing 4–1 toArron Monk in the second round.[5] A year later he reached his first quarter-final on thePro Tour at the first UK Open qualifier where he lost 6–1 toMichael van Gerwen.[6] Hunt then won a Challenge Tour title with a 4–2 victory overRicky Evans and advanced to the semi-finals of theWorld Youth Championship, whereMichael Smith eliminated him 6–3.[7][8] He went one better in theUK Open than last year as he lost in the third round 9–8 againstKevin McDine having led 4–1.[9] Hunt's performances on the Challenge Tour saw him finish fourth on the Order of Merit to earn a two-year PDC tour card from 2014.[10]
In March, Hunt reached the third round of theUK Open for the second year in a row, but lost 9–5 toPaul Nicholson.[11] Later in the month he beatMichael van Gerwen to reach the last 16 of the fourthPlayers Championship, where he was defeated 6–5 byMagnus Caris.[12] Hunt was still competing in youth tournaments as well as the main professional tour and he won the ninth event with a 4–3 success overRowby-John Rodriguez.[13] He entered the2014 PDC World Youth Championship as the number 1 seed, but lost in the last 16 toKevin Voornhout 6-4. At theGibraltar Darts Trophy, Hunt beatMervyn King 6–3 and then survived 14 match darts fromDave Chisnall to edge him out 6–5 and reach his first European Tour quarter-final, but his run came to an end asSimon Whitlock defeated him 6–2.[14]
At the2015 UK Open, Hunt lost 5–4 toAlan Tabern in the first round.[15] He competed in the2015 PDC World Youth Championship but lost 6–2 to Bradley Kirk. He was knocked out in the first round of theInternational Darts Open andEuropean Darts Matchplay and at theEuropean Darts Trophy he beatKrzysztof Ratajski 6–5, before losing 6–1 toMichael van Gerwen in the second round.[16][17] Hunt advanced to the last 16 of an event once this year, but he was defeated 6–1 byMensur Suljović at the eighthPlayers Championship.[18]
After the2016 World Championship Hunt was 71st on the Order of Merit, narrowly outside the top 64 who remain on tour.[19] He therefore entered Q School, but could not advance beyond the last 64 on any of the four days to fall off the tour.[20] He therefore had to build his year onChallenge andDevelopment Tour events winning one of each. He beatDean Reynolds 4−2 in the fourth Development event and Jamie Bain 5−3 in the sixth Challenge event.[21][22] Hunt also lost in the final of the sixth Development event 4−2 to Ross Twell.[23] He was the number 5 seed for the2016 PDC World Youth Championship but lost 6-5 in the first round to Sven Groen.
Hunt finished third on the Development Tour Order of Merit, winning one event as well as being a three time runner up that year. By finishing third, he earned a two-year PDC Tour Card for 2018/2019 due to 2nd placedDimitri van den Bergh already possessing a Tour Card by virtue of being in the world’s top 64. He was the number 4 seed for the2017 PDC World Youth Championship but lost 6-2 toJosh Payne in the second round.
He came through the Tour Card Holders’ Qualifier on 26 November with victories overTerry Temple,Maik Langendorf,Bradley Brooks andRichie Burnett to reach the2019 PDC World Darts Championship. Hunt lost in the first round 3–0 to eventual quarter finalistLuke Humphries.
