Career

BDO career

Menzies first played darts on the BDO circuit in 2006, playing in the Gibraltar Open. However, he did not emerge to prominence until 2016 where he won the British Open. He played in the 2016 World Masters but lost to Irish darts player John O'Shea in the last 80. In 2017 he became the first Scottish player to win the Scottish Open since Gary Anderson 10 years before. He qualified for the 2017 BDO World Trophy through the regional qualifiers. He reached the semi-finals of the 2017 World Masters before losing to eventual champion Krzysztof Ratajski.

2017–2021: PDC

Menzies qualified for the 2017 Grand Slam of Darts virtue of his BDO ranking. ^[4] Menzies finished third in his group losing to Gary Anderson 5–3 and Berry van Peer 5–4 but winning 5–2 against Simon Whitlock.

Menzies entered the PDC 2018 Q-School after his early loss at the 2018 BDO World Darts Championship. He then qualified the 2018 European Darts Open (ET1) and beat Mark Wilson 6–2 in the first round, before losing to the eventual champion Michael van Gerwen.

Menzies won one Challenge Tour event in 2018 and two in 2019.

2022–2023

Menzies was one of thirteen players to earn a PDC Tour Card at 2022 UK Q-School through the Order of Merit ranking. ^[5] Despite now being a PDC player, he was granted permission to take part in the 2022 WDF World Championship after qualifying for the tournament by winning the 2021 Welsh Open. ^{[6] [7]} He achieved wins over Ian Jones, Wayne Warren and James Hurrell before losing 5–4 to Thibault Tricole in the semi-finals. ^[8]

2024

In October 2024, Menzies won his maiden senior PDC title at Players Championship 29, defeating Stephen Bunting 8–4 in the final. ^[9]

In November, Menzies reached his first PDC major quarter-final at the Grand Slam of Darts after a close 10–9 victory over James Wade. ^[10] He then faced Mickey Mansell, whom he lost to 16–15 in a deciding leg. ^[11]

2025

Menzies qualified for the 2025 PDC World Championship as the highest unseeded player on the Pro Tour Order of Merit. ^[12] However, a visibly emotional Menzies was eliminated in the first round, losing 3–1 to Leonard Gates. ^{[13] [14]}

In late January, Menzies was one of eight players to qualify for the PDC World Masters through the preliminary rounds; he defeated Berry van Peer, Ricky Evans and Gian van Veen en route. ^[15] At the tournament, he won his opening match 3–1 against Dave Chisnall but was beaten 4–1 by Nathan Aspinall in the second round. ^[16] In April, he won his second PDC title by defeating Peter Wright 8–3 in the final of Players Championship 11. ^[17]

Personal life

Menzies played as a goalkeeper for Scottish football club Lugar Boswell Thistle. ^[18] He is a supporter of Rangers. ^[19]

Menzies has dated fellow darts player Fallon Sherrock since 2021. In May 2025, Menzies revealed that he quit his day job as a plumber to focus on darts full-time. ^[20]
