Cristo Reyes

Cristo Reyes Torres, born on July 30, 1987, in San Cristóbal, Spain, rose to prominence in the darting world as ‘The Spartan.’ His career with the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) began in 2014, marked by his victory at the Iberian Qualifier for the 2015 PDC World Championship. In this championship, Reyes made a significant impact by defeating Wes Newton in a dramatic sudden-death leg and then overcoming Kevin Painter to become the first Spanish player to reach the third round of the tournament. His performance garnered attention, with former world number one Rod Harrington commenting on his potential to inspire more Iberian darts players.

Reyes further solidified his presence on the professional circuit by acquiring a PDC Tour Card in January 2015. Over the years, he has consistently participated in major PDC events, including six PDC World Championships between 2015 and 2020, where his best result was reaching the Last 16. During the 2017 World Championship, he achieved a notable average of 106.07 in a match against Michael van Gerwen, setting a record for the highest losing average at the time. Reyes has also made multiple appearances in the European Championship, UK Open, and Players Championship Finals, with his best results including reaching the Last 16 in the European Championship (2015, 2016, 2018), Last 16 in the UK Open (2019), and Last 32 in the Players Championship Finals (2018).

Throughout his career, Reyes has demonstrated his skill with two recorded nine-dart finishes in Players Championship events in 2015. He has consistently qualified for various European Tour events, including the Austrian Darts Open, Danish Darts Open, and German Darts Championship qualifiers across multiple years. These achievements highlight his sustained competitive level within professional darts.
