Dave Prins

Prins qualified for his first BDO World Darts Championship in 2010. He was the seventh seed, but lost in the first round to eventual semi-finalist Martin Phillips.

He won the 2010 Isle of Man Open, beating Joey ten Berge. He also qualified for the 2011 BDO World Darts Championship as the number 16 seed, but lost 1-3 to John Walton. After the match, Prins said that he believed he would not be able to compete on the BDO Circuit in 2011 due to work commitments. However, he continued playing and subsequently qualified for the 2012 BDO World Darts Championship, where he again lost in the first round, 3-0 to Willy van de Wiel; this match then became the focus of a match-fixing controversy where it was alleged that Prins had intentionally played poorly, though no evidence was ultimately found and no action was taken. Prins once again reached the World Championship in 2013, this time missing seven match darts in a 3-2 defeat by Richie George. In 2014, Prins entered the tournament at the newly implemented preliminary round and finally won his first match at the Lakeside, defeating Dutch debutant Jeroen Geerdink 3-0. Prins followed this up with a 3-0 first round victory over Jim Williams to set up a second round clash with world number one Stephen Bunting, which Prins lost 4-0 despite averaging almost 90 while Bunting averaged over 100.

Prins reached the last 16 of the 2009 Winmau World Masters, where he lost to Tony O'Shea in three straight sets.
