Darts Star Says He 'Doesn't Know' Where He'll Live After Winning PDC Tour Card

A darts player who won a PDC tour card at Q-School says he 'doesn't know' where he will live during the 2026 season.

Australia's Adam Leek was one of the 13 players to win a tour card at UK Q-School last week.

The 27-year-old was one of the two daily winners on the opening day of the competition, defeating Tyler Thorpe 6-5 in the final.

Leek averaged over 85 in all of his six matches, and also secured victories over former PDC tour card holders Dylan Slevin and Steve Beaton.

He had earlier entered Q-School at the first stage, picking up four points to secure qualification for stage two via the Order of Merit.

During 2025, he competed in MODUS Super Series events and was also a part of the Amateur Darts Circuit (ADC) Global Championship.

Leek resides in the Australian city of Adelaide, meaning he will have to relocate for the 2026 PDC season as ProTour events are solely played in the UK and Europe.

The only other Aussie on the PDC tour is Damon Heta, who has been a revelation since joining the circuit in 2020, winning 11 titles.

Ahead of Q-School, Leek quit his job in November and moved over to the UK, though is due back in Australia later this month.

Speaking to PDC reporter Dan Dawson after winning his card, Leek said that he 'still has a lot of things to work out' over living arrangements in 2026.

"I can't believe it, to be honest," he said.

"To be honest, I thought next year was going to be more likely. I have a lot of things I still have to work out... I don't even know where to start!

"I don't know how I'm going to work it out. Any ideas [over where to live]? I don't know!"

The 27-year-old explained that he will fly back to Australia on January 24.

The 2026 ProTour season gets underway on February 9 with Players Championship 1, which takes place in Hildesheim, Germany.

"I don't even know how I've going to get back. I don't know what the goal is. I've no idea, no idea," he said.

On his game, he added: "To be fair, I think I've been as good as this two years ago. It's just mindset.

"I won my first tournament this year, I've had to learn a lot. I used to get so frustrated playing darts. I used to just beat myself out of winning a game of darts.

"I've learned to lose. I've had to learn to lose. Now, I just enjoy playing the game of darts, and if I lose, fair play."
