Who is Dave Chisnall?
Dave Chisnall was born on September 12, 1980, in St Helens, England, and has been one of the established players in international darts for many years.
However, his path to the top of the world was different from that of many young professionals today. Chisnall started his professional darts career relatively late and initially made a name for himself within the BDO.

Chisnall sensationally made it to the final. On his way there, he particularly caused a stir with his victory over BDO legend and then-number one Martin Adams.

Despite the defeat, one thing was clear: Dave Chisnall could compete at the highest level.
A short time later, he switched to the PDC - and established himself permanently among the world elite there.
Dave Chisnall's Greatest Achievements
Dave Chisnall's career is unusual.
The Englishman has won numerous professional PDC tournaments, has been one of the best players in the world rankings for many years, and reached several major TV finals.
However, a major PDC title is still missing from his collection.
This makes Chisnall one of the most successful PDC players who, despite numerous chances, has not yet won one of the really big Major trophies.
Dave Chisnall's Most Important Achievements
- BDO World Championship Finalist 2010
- Multiple finalist at major PDC Major tournaments
- Numerous titles on the PDC ProTour
- Several tournament victories on the European Tour

Chisnall subsequently reached the semifinals of the World Championship.
What is Dave Chisnall's playing style?

Chizzy can hit an incredible number of Triple 20s.
The Englishman has been one of the strongest scorers in professional darts for many years and regularly produces large numbers of 180s.
His throw is relatively fast, direct, and uncomplicated. Chisnall doesn't need much time at the oche and tries to maintain a rhythm once found.
When Chizzy gets going, he can produce enormous scores within a few throws.
Exactly this scoring power makes him dangerous for practically every opponent.
His weakness, however, occasionally lay in the double fields throughout his career. Games in which Chisnall puts his opponent under significant pressure with scoring but misses crucial chances at doubles are recurring stories in his career.
However, when scoring and checkout percentage work simultaneously, Chisnall is one of the most dangerous players on the tour.

How did Dave Chisnall start playing darts?
Dave Chisnall is not one of those players who were prepared for a professional dart career as small children.
His development progressed much more classically through English pub and league darts.
With increasing success, Chisnall played higher-level competitions and eventually made a name for himself within the BDO.
His surprising entry into the final of the BDO World Championship 2010 decisively changed his career.
The subsequent switch to the PDC then opened the door for Chisnall to the biggest tournaments in professional darts.

With his successes and especially his breakthrough on the big stage, Chisnall was finally able to make darts his profession.
Dave Chisnall in private – wife and family
Dave Chisnall keeps his private life much more out of the public eye than some other sports stars.
His long-time partner and later wife, Michaela, is known.
The couple married in 2017.
Chisnall is also a family man. The Englishman occasionally talks about his family life but consciously keeps many details out of the public eye.
This down-to-earth attitude fits his public persona: Chizzy is not one of those players who constantly make headlines with stories from their private life.
Dave Chisnall Off the Oche
Even off the stage, Dave Chisnall is considered a relatively down-to-earth character.
While he garners attention at the oche with enormous scores, the Englishman usually appears much calmer in interviews.
His life is strongly shaped by darts and his family.
Compared to some other PDC stars, there are consequently few typical gossip stories about Chisnall.
Chizzy and the curious sides of his career
Dave Chisnall is one of those players whose sporting statistics sometimes seem almost paradoxical.
On the one hand, there is a player who, over the years, has produced 180s in impressive numbers, won numerous high-class tournaments, and beaten the best players in the world.
On the other hand, he is still missing the major PDC Major title.
This has repeatedly raised the question over the years:
When will Chizzy finally win his first PDC Major?
This particular story has accompanied his career for a long time.
Chisnall has repeatedly proven that his A-game is absolutely sufficient to beat any player in the world. His 5-0 World Championship victory against Michael van Gerwen is one of the best examples of this.
Why is Dave Chisnall called "Chizzy"?
The nickname “Chizzy” simply derives from his surname Chisnall.
Over time, “Chisnall” became “Chizzy” – and the name developed into his trademark.
Nowadays, the term is found not only at tournaments and in reporting.
His signature products from Harrows are also marketed under the Chizzy name.
So, those looking for “Chizzy Darts” are generally looking for Dave Chisnall’s darts.
What is Dave Chisnall's walk-on song?
Dave Chisnall traditionally walks onto the stage to "Dizzy" by Vic Reeves & The Wonder Stuff.
The choice is, of course, no coincidence.
"Dizzy" and "Chizzy" fit together perfectly phonetically and ensure that the song is now firmly associated with the English darts professional.
Along with his distinctive yellow player shirt, Chisnall thus has a high recognition value on the PDC stage.
