John Part Biography

John Part is one of the most popular and richest Darts Player who was born on June 29, 1966 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Canadian darts player widely believed to be the best North American darts player ever. He has been a three-time world champion, twice with the British Darts Organization and twice with the Professional Darts Championship.

Darts was played at first in Barbados where he was born, the birthplace of the music star He played darts for the first time in Barbados, home of music superstar Rihanna..

Born in Toronto, Ontario, Part was given a dartboard by his parents as a Christmas present in 1987 and has played the sport ever since. Though television coverage of darts in Canada is rare and live coverage is almost non-existent, Part was still able to view the World Professional Darts Championship and the World Masters, where he would learn his game from some of the most famous champions in the sport, particularly Bob Anderson. Little is known of Part’s formative darts years, but he won his first significant title at the Syracuse Open in 1991 and became a professional in the same year. It is assumed he had great success in the North American circuit as he was soon representing Canada in the WDF World Cup. Part has stated that he was ‘produced as a darts player by the North American game’, and that his experiences playing against some of the greatest North American players of the time gave him the capability of winning world championships.

Part is generally regarded to have failed to consolidate his early success for most of the 1990s. Despite more wins on the North American circuit, including the Canadian Open and Canadian National Championships in 1995, Part struggled to make an impact in the major tournaments in the United Kingdom after his 1994 BDO World Championship success at Lakeside. In the 1995 BDO World Championship, Part only won one match in defending his title; losing an epic match in the second round to Paul Williams. Part and Williams had another epic match in the first round of the 1996 BDO World Championship, this time with Part winning, but Part was unable to make it to the quarter-finals of the BDO World Championship again after 1994, while Part also failed to reach the quarter finals of the World Masters during his entire BDO career. Despite his initial whirlwind success, Part was struggling to reach the heady heights of his breakthrough win. In June 1997, Part left the British Darts Organisation and joined the rival Professional Darts Corporation, and has competed in PDC sanctioned events ever since then. In 1997 PDC World Matchplay lost to Drew O’Neill 4–6.

He was raised and born in Toronto, Ontario.

John Part (born June 29, 1966) is a Canadian professional darts player and commentator, nicknamed Darth Maple. Part is a three-times World Champion, having won the 1994 BDO World Darts Championship, and the PDC World Championship in 2003 and 2008. He is statistically North America’s greatest darts player to date. He has the distinction of being the first non-UK player to win the World Championship, and the only non-European to date to win the PDC World Darts Championship. His first Championship was the second time a non-seeded player won the BDO World Darts Championship, and one of the few times where a player only lost one set in the entire tournament. His nine year gap between his first and second World Championships is tied with Ted Hankey for the longest gap between World Championships, and his third triumph in 2008 saw him become the first player in history to win a world title in three different venues, and the first to win at the Alexandra Palace. His 2008 win saw him join Phil Taylor, Eric Bristow, Raymond van Barneveld and John Lowe as the only players with three or more World Championships, and become only the second player (after Taylor) to win multiple PDC titles. His eleven televised PDC finals is tied with Dennis Priestley for the eighth most all time, and his £874,151 in prize money to date is the sixteenth highest amount in PDC history. Similar with Cliff Thorburn in snooker, Part remains the only darts champion from the Americas.

But it was not without some more painful defeats at the hands of ‘The Power’. In the quarter-finals of the 2001 World Matchplay, Taylor crushed Part 16–4. In the quarter-finals of the 2002 PDC World Championship, Part was again whitewashed by Taylor in a world championship, getting beaten 6–0, as the world’s greatest player went on to win his eighth consecutive world championship and his tenth world championship in all. However, Part gave Taylor a serious test in the 2002 World Matchplay final. Part, in superb form and with great belief, matched Taylor throughout the match. In a first to 18 legs contest, Part led 16–15. But Taylor stunned the Canadian by winning three legs in a row to emerge an 18–16 winner in what is now regarded as a classic final. Part’s wait for a first PDC major went on while Taylor’s dominance continued. In October 2002, Part again reached a major final at the 2002 World Grand Prix, but the result was a similar story. This time Taylor comfortably defeated Part 7–3 in sets, although Part recovered from a slow start and a 1–5 deficit to give Taylor a challenge in the last 4 sets. Taylor and Part were now considered the two best players in the world, but there were serious doubts over whether Part could beat ‘The Power’ having already suffered five televised defeats, including two whitewashes in the World Championship and the painfully close loss in the 2002 World Matchplay. Going into the 2003 PDC World Championship, Taylor was the heavy favourite. However, Taylor showed more vulnerabilities during the tournament than at the previous few world championships, with both Wayne Mardle and Dennis Smith managing to win 3 sets off of Taylor. Taylor also comfortably won an anti-climatic grudge match in the semi-final against Alan Warriner by 6–1. Part, as the number two seed, reached the final as well, with a 5–3 win over Jamie Harvey in the second round, with Part hitting a vital 161 checkout when it was 3–3 in sets and 2–2 in legs with Harvey waiting on 40. Part then crushed Chris Mason 5–0 in the quarter-finals, though Part’s semi-final was considerably more difficult. In a testing game, Part defeated Essex-born Kevin Painter 6–4 in a match not unlike his 2001 semi-final with Rod Harrington.

Overall, covering the years of 2003, 2004 and 2005, Part defeated Taylor four times on television, meaning that Part was responsible for all but one of Taylor’s five losses on television during this period – but Part went on to lose in the final in three of the four televised events where he defeated Taylor. This statistic, combined with the failed Premier League campaign and the two world championship losses to Dudbridge, made this an ultimately disappointing period for Part, reflected by his slide in the rankings.
