Scott Baker (born 31 March 1986) is an English darts player currently playing in Professional Darts Corporation events.
Career[edit]
In 2017, Baker won the Lincolnshire Open and Welsh Masters. He qualified for the 2018 BDO World Darts Championship as the 23rd ranked player in the BDO , but he lost 3–2 to Andy Baetens in the first round. The following year, he also qualified for the tournament and won his first game 3–0 against Ross Montgomery, before a stunning comeback against reigning champion Glen Durrant fell just short in the second round.
Baker opted to enter PDC UK Q-School in January 2019 with the BDO restrictions having been lifted. Following a run to the last 16 on the first day, Baker beat Dan Lauby Jr 5–1 in the final on day two to seal a two-year PDC Tour Card.
