Born on April 6, 1983, in Ash, Surrey, James Martin Wade, nicknamed “The Machine,” began his darts career in 1997. He started playing competitively around the age of 14, winning the Basingstoke Open, his first tournament, and later represented England at the youth level. Wade’s initial professional journey saw him competing in the British Darts Organisation (BDO) from 2001 to 2004. During this period, he made his television debut at the 2003 BDO World Championship and reached the quarter-finals of the International Darts League in 2004. In May 2004, Wade made the decision to join the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), marking a significant turning point in his career. He quickly adapted to the new circuit, making his PDC World Darts Championship debut in 2005 and steadily climbing the rankings.
Wade achieved a major breakthrough in 2006, transitioning to a full-time professional darts player after quitting his job as a mechanic. He reached the final of the 2006 World Matchplay, defeating several experienced players before losing to Phil Taylor. The following year, at the age of 24, he won his first major PDC title, the 2007 World Matchplay, becoming the youngest player to do so at the time. This success was quickly followed by another major victory at the 2007 World Grand Prix. His consistent performance and title wins earned him the prestigious PDC Player of the Year and PDPA Players’ Player of the Year awards in 2007, solidifying his position among the sport’s elite.
Throughout his career, Wade has collected 11 major PDC titles, ranking him third in the all-time list behind Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen. His list of achievements includes three UK Open titles (2008, 2011, 2021), the Premier League in 2009, two World Grand Prix titles (2007, 2010), the Championship League in 2010, The Masters in 2014, and both the European Championship and World Series Finals in 2018. Wade is recognized as the most successful left-handed player in darts history and has displayed remarkable resilience, especially in his personal battles with bipolar disorder and ADHD, which he openly discusses as an ambassador for Bipolar UK. His walk-on music, Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing,” symbolizes his journey and enduring presence in the sport.
