The dust has well and truly settled on the festivities at Alexandra Palace, and the PDC calendar is rapidly picking up pace. For Dave Chisnall, the start of the 2026 campaign has been about restating his intentions and finding that crucial rhythm early in the year.
While the headlines are often dominated by whoever lifted the Sid Waddell Trophy in January, the real grind of professional darts happens on the ProTour and the early European Tour qualifiers. This is where form is built, and this is where Chizzy has been quietly going about his business.
Coming into this year, Dave’s primary focus has been consistency. We all know about the explosive power-scoring—that is a permanent fixture in his game—but the opening months of 2026 have shown a steeled determination on the outer ring. His recent performances on the floor have demonstrated a player comfortable with his setup and hungry to push back towards the elite top 16 of the Order of Merit.
The modern game is relentless. The standard from players ranked 32 to 64 has never been higher, meaning there are no easy games in Barnsley or Wigan. Dave has navigated these early challenges with typical professionalism, racking up vital ranking money and securing his spots in the upcoming showcase events.
Looking ahead to the spring majors, like the UK Open, this solid foundation is essential. Chizzy is incredibly dangerous when he gets on a roll in these multi-board tournaments. If this early-season clinical finishing continues to match his treble-hitting prowess, it’s going to be an exciting few months for the Chizzy Army.
Bring a world-class darts experience to your venue by booking Dave for professional exhibitions, personal appearances, or corporate masterclasses.
