He tackled the PDC Challenge Tour in 2019, on which he made it to the quarterfinals twice. Gödl has also qualified for the 2019 Austrian Darts Championship, but he lost again. This time he was defeated by Jeffrey de Zwaan.

In November 2022, he showed up at the PDC East Europe Qualifier for the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship and he lost in the final game against Sebastian Białecki. Two weeks later, he played for the first time in the 2022 Winmau World Masters. He lost in the fifth round to eventual winner Wesley Plaisier.
