These are Peter Wright's ten best World Championship (Christmas) outfits
PDC
Peter Wright will be back at the Alexandra Palace for the PDC World Darts Championship later this month. Aside from his expert darting ability, the two-time world champion has been considered the most colourful character in the sport for years.
First round or final: Wright always makes it a party. His wife Joanne is sometimes up as early as dawn to put 'Snakebite's' hair in order. In this article, we pick out ten of Wright's most remarkable outfits from the World Darts Championship over the years.
The Grinch
As reigning world champion, Wright surprised not only the audience (present in small numbers) at the 2021 World Darts Championship, but also his opponent Steve West by appearing as a movie character The Grinch. Even his beard was - completely in theme - dyed in green.
Santa Wright
Ho, ho, ho! Snakebite brought the Christmas spirit with this particular outfit.
Wright 'in suit' on stage
For the start of the 2022 World Darts Championship, Wright was dressed quite nicely. The colorful Scot entered the stage in a tuxedo of sorts.
Christmas jumper
Ahh the Christmas jumper look, always a bit hit or miss. This particular one isn't too shabby though.
Rooster look in all colours of the rainbow
Sometimes the Scot's hair is the highlight of his outfit. With a hairdo in all the colours of the rainbow, he beat Gerwyn Price to reach the final of the 2020 World Darts Championship.
Christmas Tree
At the 2024 World Darts Championship, Wright appeared to have found another new Christmas outfit. Wearing a shirt filled with a picture of a Christmas tree, 'Snakebite' began his tournament.
Snakebite the red nosed Reindeer
With a Christmas village, snow, Santa Claus and his reindeer, Wright defeated Japan's Seigo Asada at the 2020 World Championship.
ELF darter
In classic Christmas colours, Wright escaped in a duel against Noel Malicdem. Coincidentally, the latter's first name means the word "Christmas" in French.
Colorful start
Paint splotches on Wright's shirt! The Scot began his 2014 World Championship campaign full of colour.
Tangled tenure
A chaotic but coloured shirt from Wright. Sadly for the Scot though, it wasn't a outfit fit for a champion as Snakebite went down to Michael van Gerwen in his first World final.

- It's not tennis, snooker or golf, nobody mentioned Fallon,great as she is. Beau beats her week in,week out. But she isn't interested. If you want to include crowd pleasers,get Les Wallace back!!! He was a world champion,and wore a kilt!!!rick6707-01-2025
- I'm glad wright and van Ben bergh were overlooked. Too much dancing,not enough darting. Bunting is always quality,as for price,he's a crowd pleaser(!!?) too. Aspinall has had his problems,but it's nice to see him back,he's a decent chap. Dobey is a top player,big hitter,so I won't complain. Cross will finish bottom,much as I like him,he seems to be off lately. I'm glad they didn't pick a Belgian just for the audience. But I don't agree with the tournament or format,so I guess it's immaterial to me. They might as well turn up at a random pub and play for the beers!!!rick6707-01-2025
- I think the PDC's choice is too conservative. EIther or both of Damon Heta and Mike de Dekker should have been in, at the expense of Aspinall and possibly Price. I guess the PDC's reasoning is that they do not want too much turnover from year to year, and so having already rejected Smith and Wright, they have kept Price and Aspinall, but I guess those two are "on probation".
UndartedWaters06-01-2025 - Two from the three of Price, Aspinall and Dobey should have been excluded, De Decker and Edhouse should have been in. I would have offered a place to Beau Greaves though i doubt she would have accepted it and probably not really ready for it confidence wise.Mysstree06-01-2025
- Tennis has a protected ranking system for injuries and Golf has a system that as a Major winner you get invited back of a number of years regardless of your ranking. Barry Hearn gave Stephen Hendry a wildcard for some tournaments though he still had to enter at the qualification stage. Doubt the PDC would give Burnett an exemption as he has never won a PDC Major, same would apply to Steve Beaton. It’s a slippery slope to abandoning a meritocratic system, if the PDC did do so they could then (for example) award a place to Fallon Sherrock even though she has yet to qualify at any level for a tour card.Mysstree06-01-2025
- I'd have said the same about Ady Lewis,but the PDC is indeed a law unto itself,so sorry bud,get your leg kicking and do it for the good lads!!rick6705-01-2025
- COME ON RICHIE BURNETT Surely a World Champion and player with the calibra of Richie should be exempt from ever losing a tour card and having to qualify.richieburnettrocks04-01-2025
- That's true, Richie. Taylor used to call it, "Manley's millions."MrYnyslas197103-01-2025
- The semi finals are so one sided nowadays. Bunting and Dobey had their final in the quarters and simply had no interest once they got behind and gave up., yet both will be whining for premier league places. Earning enough to keep the rankings is more important to most players. Peter Manley got to a final with Phil Taylor but was more happy that he had earned enough to pay off his mortgage and promptly and expectedly whitewashed by Philrichieburnettrocks03-01-2025
