Robert Owen

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.

His breakthrough came in 2017 when he reached the quarter-finals of the Players Championships in February and qualified for three tournaments on the European Darts 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 6–2 by top seed Rob Cross.

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 was unable to achieve any further tangible results in the period that followed and lost his Tour card at the start of 2020. This time, he was unable to get it back at the Q-School. For this reason, Owen competed in tournaments on the PDC Challenge Tour for the first time. The Welshman reached the 2020 UK Open via a Rileys Qualifier, where he was eliminated in the first round against 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. Thanks to his results on the PDC Challenge Tour, he qualified for the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship as the first-placed player on the PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit. There he was eliminated in the first round by Andrew Gilding. Via PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit, Owen secured Tour card for seasons 2023 and 2024. On September 5, 2023, he scored a nine-darter against Ritchie Edhouse in 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 of 2024 German Darts Championship and 2024 Flanders Darts Trophy for the first time since 2017.
