David Cameron (born 15 September 1969) is a Canadian professional darts player who mainly competes in World Darts Federation (WDF) tournaments. He is the first and сurrent 2022 World Seniors Darts Masters champion and triple Canadian champion.

## Career

[edit]

Cameron has appeared at the BDO World Darts Championship six times, but hasn't got past the first round in his first five appearances, his only win coming against Jimmy Hendriks in 2017. In 2019 he reached the second round for the first time.

He has also entered both editions of the PDC US Darts Masters in Las Vegas, qualifying both times. However, he hasn't won a stage match in the four events that this achievement entails. In 2017, he lost 6–5 to Dawson Murschell in the North American Championship before losing 6–3 to Raymond van Barneveld in the 2017 US Darts Masters. Cameron only managed one leg in the two tournaments in 2018, going out to John Norman Jnr and Michael Smith in the respective events.

Cameron took part in the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship where he was defeated in the 1st round by Ian Jones 2–1. Because of his early exit he was able to take part in the qualifiers for the 2022 World Seniors Darts Masters, taking an Uber to Reading from Lakeside on the Saturday where he qualified for the TV event, beating Paul Hogan 6–0 in the final game.[citation needed]

Cameron took part in the 2022 World Seniors Darts Masters after winning a qualifier. He beat Kevin Painter 4–3, Robert Thornton 4–2, Colin Monk 4–2, Richie Howson 5–2 and won the final 6–3 against 16-time World Champion Phil Taylor to become the inaugural winner of the event.
