Stephen Bunting is one of the most naturally gifted players in darts, known for his fluid throw and effortless scoring power. Before making the switch to the PDC, Bunting was a dominant force in the BDO, winning the 2014 BDO World Championship. Since joining the PDC, he has consistently competed at the highest level, reaching multiple major semi-finals. Bunting’s smooth and composed style on the oche makes him a dangerous opponent, capable of producing massive checkouts and relentless scoring when he finds his rhythm. Despite some ups and downs in his PDC career, he has remained a fan favorite due to his humble nature and sportsmanship at the oche. After years of near misses, Bunting finally claimed his first PDC major title at the 2024 Masters, proving his ability to perform on the big stage. His resurgence in form has seen him re-establish himself as a top competitor, with aspirations of adding more titles to his name. The St Helens thrower has won three ranking Pro Tour titles and two non-ranking. ‘The Bullet’ won his first World Series of Darts title at the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters. Off the oche, Bunting has built a strong social media presence and engages with fans through his YouTube channel, The Bunting, where he shares insights into his career, practice routines, and behind-the-scenes moments. His catchphrase, “Let’s go Benting mental!”, has become a rallying cry for his supporters, showcasing his fun and charismatic personality.
