Gary Mawson Biography

Gary Mawson is one of the most popular and richest Darts Player who was born on May 17, 1963 in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada. Gary Mawson (born May 17 1963) is a Canadian born American professional darts player, who plays at the Professional Darts Corporation and British Darts Organisation events. He is currently living at Pompano Beach, Florida, United States. Mawson participated in darts matches for USA in 2004 as well as the time immediately following prior to that, playing darts for Canada until 2001. Mawson was known as The Mauler during his games. His parents are from Britain as well as he resided at Bolton, England for 4 years between 3-7 prior to moving back to Canada. In the end, Mawson has two citizenships: Canadian as well as British citizenship. While being with his family in America for many years, United States for many years, Mawson is yet to be an US citizen. In recent years, Mawson has been representing Canada at times, for instance, at the telecast of the 2018 US Darts Masters.

Mawson participated at the Grand Slam of Darts, where he secured a spot in his final at the UK Open but lost out in the stage of group play.

Mawson had a great run in the 2008 UK Open. It was a tournament that Mawson very nearly didn’t play in, as he had accidentally left his Canadian passport at JFK airport in New York City. Fortunately for Mawson, he did have his British passport on him, which was enough to allow him into Britain after his arrival at Manchester airport. Mawson defeated Darren Johnson and Mark Frost in the first two rounds, before beating Alex Roy, Mark Lawrence, Mark Dudbridge and Wayne Jones to reach the semi finals before upsetting reigning champion van Barneveld to reach his first major final. It was the second time that Mawson had beaten van Barneveld in a matter of weeks, but unlike their 2008 US Open Last 32 match which was on the floor, their 2008 UK Open semi final was on a big stage and fully televised, so Mawson’s 10–8 win was considered a big upset. This was especially the case because van Barneveld had won the UK Open for the previous 2 years and had won 16 matches in a row at the UK Open without losing at the event (which included 3 Raymond van Barneveld wins over Phil Taylor in 3 consecutive years at the UK Open). Mawson lost in the 2008 UK Open final to James Wade.

2008 also saw Mawson defeat Raymond van Barneveld in the Last 32 of the US Open, to reach the Last 16 and the televised stages of the tournament. Mawson lost to Ronnie Baxter in the Last 16.

Due to his performance in his performances on the North American circuit including his Vegas quarter-finals, he qualified for the first Grand Slam of Darts in 2007 and returned to the World Championships in 2008 for the first time since 2000.

1989. However, this was the year that darts experienced a huge slumpand he was forced return to Canada. Mawson first participated in at the Canadian National Darts Championship in 1992, and he made it to the final 16. The World Darts Council (now the Professional Darts Corporation – PDC) was established in 1994 players who were part of that North American circuit were added to the 14 players who separated from the British Darts Organisation to bring the total number of players to the number required for an event. Mawson made his first appearance on television in darts in the 1995 World Matchplay, where he was able to take an early lead over Phil Taylor, before Taylor returned to beat him 8-5.

As a representative of Canada, Mawson appeared at every PDC World Matchplay between 1995 between 1995 and 2000, as well as the PDC World Grand Prix in 1998 and 1999, as well as in the PDC World Darts Championship between 1996 to 2000. His best performance during those years was reaching the quarter-finals at the 1998 World Grand Prix which remained his highest-scoring performance at the PDC competition until the time he made it into the quarter-finals at the 2007 Las Vegas Desert Classic, as a representative of the USA.

During the 2008 UK Open, Mawson became popular with British fans due to his resemblance to then Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez. The resemblance caused chants such as ‘Rafa give us a wave…’ and ‘Rafa Rafael, Rafa Rafael, Rafa Rafael, Rafael Benitez’.
