Tahuna Irwin will make his World Series debut this weekend as he takes part in the Auckland Darts Masters in his native country of New Zealand and he is aiming high ahead of that debut.
Irwin admitted he has to set himself a goal and that goal is to one day become the world number one. If he tries to he will follow Cody Harris who moved over to the UK to try and follow his dream of becoming one of the world's best.
"I'm aiming to be number one in the world, because I want to do good - for my town, my family and New Zealand," Irwin told Newshub.
"You have to set yourself a goal. If you want it, you'll go for it and that's what I'm trying to do."
Irwin's qualification for the World Championship came during a memorable week where he sealed his spots in Auckland and the World Youth Championship.
"It was overwhelming," he added. "It took me a couple of weeks for it to sink in and realise that this is a big thing.
"All my family is proud. Depending on how well I do, this could be a good set-up for the rest of my life."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
