Mario Vandenbogaerde

Mario Vandenbogaerde (born 1 June 1973) is a Belgian professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events.

In September 2019, Vandenbogaerde qualified for the 2020 BDO World Darts Championship, which turned out to be the event's last edition and, as the 11th seed, he reached the semi-finals on debut.

[3] In January 2022, he competed in the PDC's European Q-School and successfully secured a Tour Card during the third day of its final phase.

Vandenbogaerde qualified for the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, becoming only the second Belgian to have appeared at both the BDO and PDC World Championship (following Eric Clarys), but lost to Thibault Tricole in the first round.

As a result, he failed to retain his Tour Card through being in the top 64 of the Order of Merit.
