William Borland is a talented Scottish darts player who currently competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. Having played in both BDO and PDC competitions, Borland has made a name for himself with impressive performances, including reaching the last 48 of the World Masters and the last 16 of the BDO World Trophy. His participation in PDC Challenge Tour events also paved the way for his qualification for the 2019 European Darts Open in Leverkusen, showcasing his potential on the international stage.
In 2019, Borland made a significant mark by reaching the quarter-finals of the PDC World Youth Championship, where he faced Keane Barry and lost 6–3. His consistent performances throughout early 2019 culminated in a triumph on 19 January 2020, when he secured a two-year PDC Tour Card by finishing eighth on the UK Q School Order of Merit, allowing him to compete professionally in 2020 and 2021.
Borland’s career reached a notable milestone during his World Championship debut on 17 December 2021, when he made headlines by achieving a nine-dart finish against Bradley Brooks.
