# Mark McGeeney

Mark McGeeney (born 28 June 1972) is an English professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He previously played in British Darts Organisation (BDO) tournaments, where he won the Dutch Open on two occasions and was the runner-up at the 2018 BDO World Championship and the World Masters in both 2016 and 2017.

## Career
### BDO

In August 2010, McGeeney won the Weoley Castle Open, beating Kevin Taylor in the final. In September 2014, he won the England Classic; he beat Sam Hewson in the quarter-final before beating Wesley Harms in the final. In April 2015, McGeeney won the Lincolnshire Open by beating Joshua Richardson in the Final. In September 2015, he won the British Open beating Scott Waites in the final.
McGeeney reached back-to-back Winmau World Masters finals, losing to Glen Durrant and Krzysztof Ratajski in 2016 and 2017 respectively, and won the Dutch Open.
In 2018, after two previous 2nd round losses, McGeeney reached the final of the BDO World Darts Championship against Durrant. McGeeney came from 6–4 down in sets to lead 2–0 in the decider, but eventually lost 7–6. He became only the second player in World Championship history after Mike Gregory in 1992 to miss championship darts (one at D18 and one at D9) and lose the match. The following month, McGeeney retained his Dutch Open title, beating Durrant 3–1 in sets in the final.
In 2019, at his last appearance at a BDO World Championship McGeeney was once again knocked out in the 2nd round.

### PDC

McGeeney revealed in December 2018 that he would compete in the PDC's Q-School in 2019, due to the introduction of rules that allowed unsuccessful Q-School competitors to compete within the BDO. After losing out in the day one final to Harry Ward 5–2, he recovered to go all the way on day two, beating Carl Wilkinson 5–4 in the final to seal a two-year Tour Card.
McGeeney lost his PDC tour card at the end of 2021 having not managed to find his form since moving across from BDO, failing to reach the top 64 to secure an extension. He has been unable to regain a tour card at Q-School.
