This success made him the first and so far only player from the United States of America to have won a PDC Major darts tournament in Europe.

Several North American players were invited to join them in tournaments and Butler appeared at the first WDC (now Professional Darts Corporation, PDC) World Championship in 1994.

He failed to qualify from the group stages, but produced a notable victory over three-time former world champion, John Lowe.

Most major tournaments were staged in the United Kingdom and few North American players were able to make an impact, mainly due to travelling difficulties.

In April 2009 Butler traveled to Europe to compete in a series of PDC Players Championships and in UK Blue Square Open qualifiers.

He traveled to Philadelphia to play in the Ray Chesnae Open and finished 3rd in the Pro singles and 2nd in both the cricket doubles and mixed triples.

Butler then reached the semi-finals of the North American Darts Championship, defeating the likes of John Kuczynski, Bill Davis and Paul Lim before losing to Darin Young.

He added a first a second and ties for fourth and sixteenth to his resume before heading east to Stamford CT for the USA Darts Classic.

It was here in CT that Butler decided to rejoin the American Darts Organization and pursue a shot at the World Masters title.

He captured the 501 Singles title and felt well prepared to head to Las Vegas for the ADO Cricket Championship and tournament.

He played alongside Darin Young in February 2013, but they finished bottom of Group F after losing 4–5 to Finland and 3–5 to Germany.

He also had a remarkable week in October, first by reaching the Grand Slam of Darts by winning one of the two spots on offer, He beat notable names like Scott Waites and Glen Durrant.

Starting off in the preliminary round he defeated James Hurrell 3–2 and then went on to beat Ryan De Vreede 3–2 before losing to number one seed Glen Durrant 4–0.
