Wikipedia - Ritchie Edhouse
Ritchie Edhouse (born 19 April 1983) is an English professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He is the current European Champion, after he won his first ever major title by defeating Jermaine Wattimena 11–3 in the 2024 final.
History
2016–2023
Edhouse won his first PDC Challenge Tour title in 2016, whitewashing Mark Dudbridge 5–0 in the final of Event Three.
Edhouse first won his PDC Tour Card at 2017 Q-School after defeating Mickey Mansell 5–3 on Day Two. He reached the semi-finals of the 2018 Dutch Darts Championship, where he lost to Ricky Evans 7–5. He won his second Challenge Tour event in early 2019, and a third in 2020, allowing him to regain his tour card for the 2021 season.
He won the opening match of the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship in a 3–2 victory over Peter Hudson, setting up a clash with reigning world champion Gerwyn Price later in the night. Edhouse won the first set but he went on to lose 3–1.
Edhouse suffered first round defeats at the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship and 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, losing to David Cameron and Jeffrey de Graaf.
2024: European Champion
Edhouse experienced an improvement of form in 2024, particularly on the European Tour. Edhouse reached the quarter-finals of the 2024 International Darts Open, defeating Jitse Van der Wal 6–1, Michael Smith 6–5 in a deciding leg and Rob Cross 6–4 before losing to Stephen Bunting 6–5 in a deciding leg. He also made the quarter-finals of the 2024 Baltic Sea Darts Open, where he lost to eventual champion Rob Cross 6–5. His success during the year saw him qualify for the 2024 World Matchplay, 2024 World Grand Prix and the 2024 European Championship.
Edhouse headed into the 2024 European Championship as a 250/1 outsider to win the tournament. He won his opening game 6–1 against Gian van Veen, averaging 109.48 in the process. He then defeated former world champions Michael Smith and Gary Anderson before a semi-final victory over Luke Woodhouse. Edhouse reached the final, where he defeated Jermaine Wattimena 11–3 to win his first major title. The win resulted in Edhouse entering the top 32 in the PDC Order of Merit for the first time. It also granted him a spot at the 2024 Grand Slam of Darts, where he lost to Rob Cross in the Last 16.
2025
At the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship, Edhouse was seeded and started the tournament in the second round for the first time. He lost 3–1 to Ian White.
