Brendan Dolan, known as “The History Maker” in the darts community, has carved out a professional career marked by significant achievements and a groundbreaking televised nine-dart finish. After becoming the first player to achieve a nine-dart finish in the double-start format on television at the 2011 World Grand Prix against James Wade, Brendan Dolan immediately cemented his place in darts history, earning him the moniker ‘The History Maker.’ Prior to this landmark moment, Dolan had already established a strong professional presence, making his first major appearance at the 2004 World Grand Prix after qualifying through the All-Ireland qualifiers, where he reached the second round.
