Waites was not a full-time professional player during his time on the BDO circuit, he was at the time a carpenter for Pennine Housing 2000, a member of the Together Housing Group who also acted as a sponsor.
Scott Waites, born on February 17, 1977, in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, has established a distinguished career in professional darts. Initially competing in British Darts Organisation (BDO) events, Waites quickly demonstrated his talent, securing his first significant win at the Dutch Open in February 2007. This early success was followed by a Welsh Masters title in March of the same year, showcasing his consistent performance on the circuit. His proficiency in darts led him to make his World Championship debut at the 2008 BDO World Darts Championship, where he reached the quarter-finals. Throughout his BDO career, Waites participated in various major tournaments, including the International Darts League and the World Darts Trophy, consistently ranking among the top players in the organization.
A pivotal moment in Waites’ career came in 2010 when he achieved a significant milestone by winning the Grand Slam of Darts, a Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) major event. This made him the first BDO player to win the prestigious cross-code tournament, triumphing over James Wade in the final. His success continued within the BDO, where he captured two BDO World Championship titles in 2013 and 2016. In 2011, he secured multiple major titles, including the World Masters, Finder Masters, and the WDF World Cup Singles, further solidifying his status as a dominant force in darts. Waites transitioned to the PDC circuit in 2020 after successfully earning a tour card at Q School, becoming a full-time professional darts player. He made his PDC World Championship debut in 2021, reaching the second round.
Throughout his professional journey, Waites has accumulated 47 titles across PDC, WDF/BDO, and other categories, demonstrating his enduring skill and competitive spirit. His career progression saw him move from being a non-full-time professional, working as a carpenter for Pennine Housing 2000, to fully dedicating himself to darts upon joining the PDC. Despite losing his PDC tour card in 2023, he continued to compete, winning a PDC Challenge Tour event in 2025. Waites’ dedication to the sport is evident in his long list of achievements and his sustained presence in major tournaments for over a decade, making him a respected figure in the darts community.
