Career

Lipscombe's first matches on the PDC circuit came on the PDC Challenge Tour, the organisation's secondary tour, with results dating back to 2013. [4] He started competing in the MODUS Super Series, a weekly 12-player darts tournament based in Portsmouth, in 2023, [5] most notably being on the receiving end of a nine-dart finish from Fallon Sherrock. [6] In December 2024, Lipscombe was the runner-up at the ADC Global Championship. He was defeated by Devon Petersen 9–3 in the final. [7]

Lipscombe attended 2025 PDC Q-School in hopes of obtaining a PDC Tour Card. After initially being eliminated in the first stage of the event, he was invited back for the final stage following the withdrawal of David Pallett. A run to the semi-finals on the final day of play ensured a high position on the final ranking table, resulting in him winning a Tour Card for the first time. [8] [9]

In March 2025, he reached his first PDC ranking final, losing to 8–3 to Gary Anderson at Players Championship 7. [10] In November, Lipscombe reached the last 16 of the 2025 Players Championship Finals but missed 10 match darts in a deciding leg loss to Daryl Gurney. [11]

Personal life

Lipscombe was born on 30 May 1992 in Portsmouth, England. [5] [12] Outside of darts, he is also a groundworker. [13]
