Nicknames of professional darts players

In the world of darts, there's a very popular tradition whereby every player is given a nickname. These nicknames are so important that they are almost always featured on pro players' shirts and merchandising.

Nicknames of professional darts players

Here is a list of darts players who have made their mark on screens around the world. Each one has their own story about how they got their nickname. It’s always interesting to hear them talk about how they got it!

Some nicknames are super original, like “Jackpot,” Adrian Lewis’s nickname. He got it at the 2005 Desert Classic in Las Vegas after hitting a $72,000 “Jackpot” on a slot machine but being unable to claim it because he was only 20 years old and a minor in the United States. It’s crazy how nicknames can come from a simple stroke of luck!
