Career

In 2005, Vandenbogaerde won the Belgium National Championships, in 2018 he won the Luxembourg Masters and in 2019, he won the German Open, before reaching the semi-finals of the World Masters.

In September 2019, Vandenbogaerde qualified for the 2020 BDO World Darts Championship, which turned out to be the event's last edition and, as the 11th seed, he reached the semi-finals on debut. He was the first Belgian man to reach the semi-finals of a World Championship and the only to do so at the BDO World Championship. [3]

In January 2022, he competed in the PDC's European Q-School and successfully secured a Tour Card during the third day of its final phase.

Vandenbogaerde qualified for the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, becoming only the second Belgian to have appeared at both the BDO and PDC World Championship (following Eric Clarys), but lost to Thibault Tricole in the first round. As a result, he failed to retain his Tour Card through being in the top 64 of the Order of Merit. Vandenbogaerde immediately regained a Tour Card at Q-School by finishing ninth in the European Q-School Order of Merit.
