Career

Lawrie has had an interest in playing darts since he was a toddler and started playing more regularly during the COVID-19 lockdown; he cites Scottish world champion Gary Anderson as his inspiration. [1] [7]

In December 2023, aged 13, Lawrie represented Scotland at the Junior Darts Corporation's JDC World Cup of Darts. He hit the winning double as Scotland beat Ireland 4–0 in the final. [8] In the semi-finals of the tournament, Scotland defeated an England team that contained future world champion Luke Littler. [1] In February 2024, Lawrie won three of the first four JDC Foundation Tour events of the year. [3]

In May 2025, he became the first Scottish player to win a JDC Advanced Tour event. [9] In July, Lawrie won the WDF Europe Youth Cup singles tournament and was part of Scotland's winning youth team. [10] Lawrie won his first two senior WDF titles in September, winning both the Welsh and British Open. [11] [12] [13] [14] In October, he won the World Masters and World Open youth titles. [15] He then won his third senior WDF title, the Irish Classic, to become the youngest player to win three senior WDF titles. Aged 15 years and 4 days old, he beat the previous record that was held by Luke Littler. [16] At the end of November, Lawrie reached the 2025 JDC World Darts Championship final, which will be contested on 20 December 2025 at Alexandra Palace. [17]

At the 2025 WDF World Darts Championship, Lawrie became the youngest player to compete in a senior event in the tournament's history, winning his opening match 3–0 against Tomoya Maruyama. [18] [19] He went on to reach the final by defeating Jenson Walker 5–2 in the semi-finals, with Walker being the first player to win sets against Lawrie during the tournament.
