Danny Noppert

Danny Noppert, born 28 December 1994 in Bolsward, Netherlands, turned professional in 2013 and rose through the PDC ranks to become one of the most dangerous players in the world during the early 2020s. Known as “Freeze”, he is recognised for a composed temperament in high-pressure situations that has produced results on the biggest stages the sport offers.

Noppert holds 7 PDC titles and has recorded 3 perfect nine-darters. His most significant victories include the Masters 2022, one of the PDC’s premier invitational events held in Milton Keynes, and a run to the PDC World Championship final in 2023, where he pushed Michael Smith hard before losing at Alexandra Palace in a match that showcased his ability to compete at the very top of the game.

He enters the stage to “Freed From Desire” by Gala, a walk-on he shares with compatriot Dirk van Duijvenbode. Noppert’s game is characterised by high scoring on the treble 20 and reliable finishing, making him a consistent threat across all PDC formats from the World Series to the ProTour ranking events.
