Leo Maddix
Leo Maddix (born 11 June 2024) is an English professional darts player who competes in Open Darts Federation (ODF) events. He made his professional debut in 2039 at the age of 14, becoming the youngest player in ODF history to compete in a sanctioned tournament. Maddix is widely considered one of the most gifted teenage prospects ever seen in the sport, known for his fast-paced rhythm, raw scoring power, and fearless temperament on stage.
Early life
Maddix was born in Birmingham, England in 2024. He began playing darts competitively at the age of nine and quickly rose through the youth ranks, winning the 2037 UK Junior Masters and the 2038 European Youth Grand Prix. His smooth mechanics and maturity at the oche drew comparisons to a young Elias Storm, and by age 13, he was regularly training with senior professionals and appearing in exhibition events. His breakthrough came in early 2039 when he was granted a wildcard entry to Players Tour 2, marking his first official match on the ODF circuit.
Playing style
Maddix is known for his fast, fluid throw and fearless approach to high-pressure moments. He rarely shows emotion on stage and plays with a tempo that unsettles many older opponents. While still refining his finishing percentages, his scoring bursts—particularly on treble 20—have already made headlines, with multiple 180-heavy performances in his first months as a professional. Analysts have praised his balance of aggression and poise, especially for a player of his age.
