Peter Wright

Peter Stuart Wright (born 10 March 1970) is a Scottish professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events, where he is currently ranked world number fifteen; he was ranked world number one on two occasions in 2022. Nicknamed "Snakebite", he is a two-time PDC World Champion, having won the 2020 and 2022 World Championships. He also won the World Matchplay in 2021. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, Wright has won eight PDC major singles titles, placing him joint-fourth in the all-time list.

When he was 24, Wright qualified for the first round of the 1995 BDO World Championship but then stopped playing darts professionally, working instead as a builder and tyre fitter while competing in local darts leagues. He resumed his professional darts career in his late 30s, playing his first full schedule of PDC events in 2008. He qualified for his first PDC World Championship in 2010, entered the top 16 for the first time in 2013, and reached his first world final in 2014, where he was runner-up to Michael van Gerwen. He won his first major PDC title at the 2017 UK Open. He has hit one televised nine-dart finish, at the 2020 Premier League Darts. Wright has won a total of 48 PDC titles in his professional career, including nine PDC European Tour titles.

Wright is known for his flamboyant stage persona, involving colourful attire, multicoloured Mohican hairstyles created by his hairdresser wife Joanne, and elaborate designs painted on his head. He is also known for performing a sidestep dance before his matches to the song "Don't Stop the Party" by Pitbull.
