(VIDEO) Perfection from Hollywood: Chris Dobey nails nine-dart finish at Players Championship 5
PDCTuesday, 24 February 2026 at 16:06
Chris Dobey has found perfection at Players Championship 5 during his second round clash against Ricky Evans that he went on to win.
Dobey went 180, 180, 141 during the latest ProTour and given 'Hollywood' has one of the most silkiest throws in the game, the Bedlington ace gave one of the most satisfying nine-dart finishes of the year thus far.
He started in leg one with perfection winning 6-3. He won with a 96 average after he also saw off Cristo Reyes 6-2 in the opening round here.
He becomes one of multiple top names to pin them this year including Gian van Veen this past weekend in Krakow as well as Luke Humphries in Milton Keynes at the World Masters. Wanting to prove a point after his Premier League snub, he is doing that for sure.

- Exactly! Did the Glasgow punters get a partial refund for missing out on a potentially explosive match up? I don't know but I doubt it. Given the existing set up, how about this? Four reserves, one European based player to cover the four overseas rounds (including Dublin) and three UK based players to cover four UK rounds each (including Belfast). If the number of continental rounds changed to four for instance then Dublin could be transferred to the UK players allocation for convenience. All reserves should have their travel and accommodation costs covered and to make it worth their while, if they are not used, the reserve could play a match with a LOCAL non tour card holding player between the semi finals and final. This local player would be chosen by a prior qualifying tournament. The prize for this game could be £/euros 1000 or 2000 as the reserve could be spending his time and effort doing an exhibition instead not that I know what the commercial rate for an exhibition is! If the reserve is used in the main competition then the winner and the runner up of the qualifier can play. This could generate additional local interest and publicity. Obviously this doesn't cover every "what if" scenario i.e. What if two main players pull out? Maybe a second of the four reserves could be chosen at random? What do you think?OldShakey23-02-2026

- So,it's a rubbish league,waste of time. Just put 8000 people in a building every Thursday,get them all drunk,and wonder why it's a complete joke. And forget every other player apart from 8. It's a ridiculous,inane,and needless so called competition.rick6718-02-2026
- Sorry,I've never been a professional darts player,but obviously from your comment,you have. So, going to your reply, you're blaming the management,not the player? So in that respect,he should get a different manager? That's basically all your comment is saying. Don't let him do money makers,which Barney said is easy money, instead of tournaments? Shake hands instead of trophies? Well I guess the manager knows best,as he has a big cut!rick6716-02-2026
- Sorry Mr rick67, erm what punditry credentials do you have to comment on a pundit? There's a reason why many top professionals have management teams. They know how to manage schedules etc so the players can just play. And how is Edgar wrong? Last year MVG failed to qualify by missing too many tournaments and underperforming. He's repeating the error this year so Edgar is right In calling this out.BandB15-02-2026
- Just get of Mardle,I didn't pay to watch him,and I don't want him for free! Let's see,how many world champions,either code,did you win? None! Now mason does it more as a player who was a floor player than you were putting pineapple on your shirt. Mardle,just go,you over inflated ego may follow. Tell you what,get on the seniors tour,and show everyone how good you weren'trick6715-02-2026
- Sorry Mr Edgar,erm what have you actually won to comment? Mvg has had his issues,but you have won a grand total of what? I make that nothing. So how can your comment be justified? Let him do what he likes,you do what you like, and we'll see what you win nextrick6715-02-2026
- Seems to be having a moan for no reason and using “Do-Gooder” as an insult makes no sense. It literally means someone who does good things!Wonker12-02-2026
- Mickey Vs mensur for the world champion? It's starting tomorrow,finishes in January!!rick6711-02-2026
- Oh well that's it then. Both these goofs will expect and demand premier league darts next year after this.richieburnettrocks10-02-2026
