His top ranking also ensured him a debut at the PDC World Darts Championship in 2015. He won six successive legs from 2–1 down in sets against world number 17 Justin Pipe to beat him 3–2. However, in the following round against Terry Jenkins he lost all 12 legs played in a 4–0 defeat. Two titles in the first half of the year saw him play in the Perth Darts Masters and Sydney Darts Masters as the number one player on the DPA Order of Merit. Defeats to Adrian Lewis and Peter Wright saw him knocked out in the first round of both events for the second year in a row. He also played in the Auckland Darts Masters, but was whitewashed 6–0 by Raymond van Barneveld in the opening round.
