Dylan Slevin (born 19 November 2002) is an Irish professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He obtained a PDC Tour Card in 2023.[6] He previously won two medals in the WDF Europe Cup Youth and represented his country during the WDF World Cup in youth competitions.

Career

In the second decade of the 21st century, he was a leading youth player in Ireland. As a member of the Irish youth (boys) team, he won the medal twice in the WDF Europe Cup Youth, bronze in 2018 and gold in 2019.[7]

2022

In November 2022, he participated in the Irish Open. On his way to the final, he defeated several of the top players in the World Darts Federation ranking, including Nick Kenny, Neil Duff, Richard Veenstra and Chris Landman. In the final, he lost to Jelle Klaasen by 3–6 in legs.[8] In the Irish Classic, he ended his participation in the fourth round after losing to Dennie Olde Kalter by 3–4 in legs.[9] This year, Slevin participated in the PDC Development Tour, reaching the semi-finals twice. He managed to qualify for the PDC World Youth Championship 2022, in the group stage, he remained unbeaten and would eventually reach the quarter-finals, in which he lost 4–6 with Josh Rock.[10]

2023

In January 2023, he took part in the PDC Q-School qualifying tournament.[11] On the fourth day of the tournament finals, he obtained a PDC Tour Card for the next two years. In early February, he made his debut during the first 2023 PDC Players Championship tournament, by advancing to the semi-finals, where he lost to Jamie Hughes by 2–7 in legs.[12]

In 2023, he took part in the 2023 UK Open where he defeated Maik Kuivenhoven, Shaun Wilkinson, Robbie Knops, before losing to Joe Cullen of England by 7–10 in legs. In March he secured his first PDC title, winning the second tournament of PDC Development Tour, in the final he won 5–4 against Luke Littler.[13][14] Slevin made his PDC European Tour debut in the 2023 Austrian Darts Open where he lost to John Henderson of Scotland by 4–6 in legs. Throughout the whole season he appeared in seven European Tour events, but failed to qualify for 2023 European Championship.[15][16]

He finished on 65th place of Players Championship Order of Merit, initially not qualifying for 2023 Players Championship Finals. However, ninth seed Danny Noppert withdrew prior to the tournament due to the imminent birth of his second child and Slevin came directly into the draw to replace him. In the First round he lost in the deciding leg to Matthew Campbell 5–6.[17]

Slevin was able to qualify for 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, finishing in 50th place on the Pro Tour Order of Merit.[18][19][20]

2024

At the World Championship, Slevin was up against Florian Hempel. He lost the first round match 1–3, despite winning the first set and hitting a 167 checkout in the second set.[21]

He made it to the semi finals of the 2024 PDC World Youth Championship, but bowed out to eventual champion Gian van Veen.[22]

After not initially qualifying for the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship, Slevin was one of four players to qualify for the event through the Tour Card Holder qualifier.[23] He is set to play Irish compatriot William O'Connor in the first round.[24]
