Madars Razma (born 26 September 1988) is a Latvian professional darts player. Nicknamed "Razmatazz", he competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events, where he is currently ranked world number forty-three. Razma made the quarter-finals at the 2022 World Grand Prix and has been the runner-up at three PDC ranking events. He is also a multiple-time winner of the Latvia National Championships.
Razma originally played handball until the age of 21, before sustaining a series of injuries and turning his full attention to darts. [2]
In 2013, Razma qualified for the last 32 of the World Masters (losing 0–3 to Geert De Vos). He qualified for the 2014 BDO World Darts Championship, after finishing top of the Baltic and Scandinavia qualification table. [3] He won the 2013 Riga Open and Finnish Open, reached the semi-finals of the Tallukka Open and Lithuania Open, and quarter-finals of the German Gold Cup and Polish Open, and won the 2013 Antwerp Open pairs along with Ron Meulenkamp. [4] At the 2014 World Championship he beat John Michael to reach the last 32 stage before losing to Geert De Vos. The following year, after a consistent season, Razma upset fifth seed Martin Phillips 3–0 in the first round. He was beaten 3–4 in the second round by Brian Dawson.
At the 2016 BDO World Championship, Razma beat Gary Robson in the first round 3–1, before losing to Jamie Hughes 4–1 in the second round.
Razma entered the Professional Darts Corporation's Qualifying School in 2017. A run to the last eight on the second day saw Razma finish twelfth on the Q School Order of Merit, earning the final Tour Card on offer and making him the first Latvian to hold one. [5]
In September 2018, Razma made his first PDC final at Players Championship 19, losing in the final to Max Hopp, 6–3. [6] This helped qualify him for his first televised PDC event, the 2018 Players Championship Finals. [7]
After failing to qualify for the World Championship, he managed to regain his PDC Tour Card at European Q-School in January 2019. A run to the final on the third day saw Razma finish first on the Order of Merit, earning him his card. [8]
In 2022, Razma had a landmark year, making his debut in the World Matchplay, World Grand Prix and European Championship. He made the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Grand Prix, which was his first time reaching the last 8 of a premier prevent in the PDC. [9] His successful year saw him enter the top 32 of the PDC Order of Merit for the first time. [10]
Razma is known for his preference for throwing for treble 19 rather than the standard treble 20. [11] [12]
