Simon Whitlock

Born: March 3, 1969
in Cessnock, New South Wales, Australia
Simon Whitlock (born 3 March 1969) is an Australian professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) tournaments, having also played in the British Darts Organisation (BDO) between 2004 and 2009. He uses the nickname "The Wizard" for his matches. His walk-on music is Down Under by Men at Work.

His greatest achievement to date was winning his first major title at the 2012 European Championship. Whitlock has also finished runner-up at the 2008 BDO World Darts Championship and the 2010 PDC World Darts Championship. He claimed that the prize money gained from the latter tournament which included money for the highest checkout (joint with Phil Taylor) would allow him to move over to the UK from Australia and compete on the PDC Pro Tour. His defeat also made him the first, and so far only, player to have never won a World Championship after reaching both the BDO and PDC World Championship Final. He managed to achieve a televised nine dart finish in the 2012 Premier League against Andy Hamilton.
