Career

[edit]

Moss reached the final of the qualifier for the 2014 PDC World Championship, but was whitewashed 5–0 by Matt Clark.[1] However, for winning through to the final he earned a spot in the preliminary round of the event where he was beaten 4–3 by New Zealand's Rob Szabo.[2] Moss entered Qualifying School in January 2014 and finished eighth on the Order of Merit to earn a two-year PDC tour card.[3] His deepest run during the year came at the fifth Players Championship where he lost 6–4 in the last 32 to Wayne Jones.[4][5]

At the 2015 UK Open, Moss defeated Adi Acott and Connie Finnan, before losing 5–3 to Christian Kist in the second round.[6] In May at the 10th Players Championship, Moss beat Roxy-James Rodriguez, Terry Jenkins and Stuart Kellett to reach the last 16 of a PDC event for the first time, but lost 6–2 to Keegan Brown.[7] He won through to the final of the non-ranking Worthingtons Darts Champion of Champions event where he lost 2–0 in sets to Gerwyn Price.[8] Moss had one last 16 appearance in a Challenge Tour event in 2016 and had no success in the main Pro Tour events.[9]

Ian Moss stopped playing PDC Events in 2018.
