John Lowe: Biography, Facts and Career

John Lowe (born 21 July 1945) is an English former professional darts player who was one of the most prominent throwers from the late 1970s onwards. Lowe was world champion on three occasions, in 1979, 1987 and 1993. He was also a two-time winner of the World Masters and lifted the World Cup singles title on two occasions. In total, Lowe won 15 British Darts Organisation (BDO) and World Darts Federation (WDF) majors. He held the World No. 1 ranking on four occasions. In October 1984, he became the first player to hit a televised nine-dart finish. Lowe is one of only six players to have been world champion three or more times and was the first person to win it in three separate decades, one of only two players to do so. Amidst growing dissatisfaction with the British Darts Organisation, Lowe was also one of 16 players who in 1993 broke away to form their own governing body, the World Darts Council (now known as the Professional Darts Corporation).
