Career

He finished third in the JDC World Cup with the Czech junior team. Gawlas also achieved another third place finish with the Czech junior team, this time the European Youth Cup.

He then made it to the 2019 JDC World Championship final, where he lost to Keane Barry 5–3.

Gawlas also played in the final of the 2019 PDC World Youth Championship, but he lost to Luke Humphries 6–0. The result qualified him for 2020 Grand Slam of Darts.^[3]

In early 2020 he made his first attempt at the European Q-School. In the final tournament he achieved his best result of the week when he made it into the last 32; in the other 3 events, he finished in the last 512, the last 256 and the last 128. A few weeks later he qualified for The 2020 Austrian Darts Championship, although the tournament has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. In April 2020 he became one of the ten players of newly found 2020 Tipsport Premier League.^[4]
