ADAM GAWTHROP
YORKSHIRE
Adam joins the Matador Darts team with Q School 2024 in his sights. Having followed 'Beefy' personally on twitter for a few years now it's clear to see he's a fantastic player and isn't phased whether he's playing in his house online in the GDL/Scolia or if he's playing at a tournament.
Adam attended 2024 PDC Q School gaining 3 points but missed out on leg difference of making stage 2. In his debut match he defeated major champion Robert Thornton with a 14 darter in the deciding leg.
