Robert Owen (born 23 September 1984) is a Welsh professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He is an England Classic Champion, having won it in 2022.

History

Owen secured himself a Tour card in 2014 with a one-day win in PDC Q-School. During the first two years, he was not able to earn enough prize money on the PDC Pro Tour to get into top 64 and had to play Q-School again in 2016. This time he earned a Tour Card via the points ranking. Later in the year, he only managed to qualify once for an event on the European Darts Tour with the 2016 European Darts Grand Prix.

In February 2017 he reached the quarter-finals of Players Championship 2 and qualified for three tournaments on the European Tour. Owen reached the quarter finals of the 2017 Dutch Darts Masters after defeating Jamie Bain, Cristo Reyes and Simon Whitlock, but was narrowly defeated in 6–5 by Michael Smith.

He made his televised debut at the 2017 Players Championship Finals, but was defeated top seed Rob Cross 6–2 in the first round.

Despite his results in 2017, he had to compete again at Q-School in 2018, where he secured a Tour card for the third time by winning the second day. Owen qualified for the 2018 UK Open, where starting at the second round stage, he defeated Michael Burgoine, Jamie Lewis, Nathan Rafferty, Ian White and John Part to reach the semi finals in only his second televised event, but was defeated by Corey Cadby.

However, Owen lost his Tour card after failing to qualify for the 2020 PDC World Darts Championship. He was unable to earn his card back at Q-School. Owen therefore competed in tournaments on the PDC Challenge Tour for the first time. He reached the 2020 UK Open via a Rileys Qualifier, where he was eliminated in the first round by Lewis Williams.

In January 2022, he reached a final on the PDC Challenge Tour for the first time, but lost to Scott Williams. He also lost his second final against Jurjen van der Velde in July. In September, however, he prevailed in a final against the Dutchman Christian Kist, securing his first title in PDC. Owen was the runner-up on the 2022 PDC Challenge Tour series Order of Merit, which qualified him for the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship and secured him a Tour card for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He was eliminated in the first round by Andrew Gilding.

On 5 September 2023 Owen hit a nine-dart finish against Ritchie Edhouse at Players Championship 21.

In 2024 Owen qualified for three PDC European Tour events in the later part of the year, making it into the second round for the first time since 2017 at both the 2024 German Darts Championship and the 2024 Flanders Darts Trophy.
