Career

2021: PDC debut

Carolissen qualified for the 2021 PDC World Darts Championship after winning the PDC African Qualifier, beating two-time World Championship participant Charles Losper 7–4 in the final. [1] He received a bye into the second round of the tournament after his opponent Martijn Kleermaker withdrew due to contracting COVID-19 and his replacement, Josh Payne, was also ruled out after he had to self-isolate due to coming into contact with someone with COVID-19. [2] In the second round, he was beaten 3–1 by Danny Noppert.

2024–present: African Continental Tour, return to PDC

Thanks to his success on the African Continental Tour, Carolissen made his PDC World Cup of Darts debut at the 2024 PDC World Cup of Darts for the South African team, [3] partnering fellow debutant Johan Geldenhuys.

Carolissen qualified for the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship by winning the African Darts Group Qualifier. He overcame Kenya's Peter Wachiuri in the final 8-7 in legs, surviving a match dart for a 154 checkout from Wachiuri. [4] At the World Championship, Carolissen was drawn to play Wessel Nijman, one of the favourites to win the tournament. Nijman took a 2–0 lead but Carolissen won the next two sets to level the match at 2–2. They entered a sudden death leg, where Nijman won the match 3–2. [5]
