Hofstra qualified for the 2004 BDO World Darts Championship, losing 3–1 to Mervyn King in controversial circumstances.
With the players off the stage, officials checked the length and the match resumed with King taking the next two sets to win 3–1.
Hofstra returned to the Lakeside for the 2005 BDO World Darts Championship, this time taking one of the automatic places meaning he avoided having to qualify.
Hofstra qualified for the 2014 World Championship where he played his practice partner Remco van Eijden and whitewashed him 3–0 in sets and 9–0 in legs, averaging over 90 and hitting all but five of his darts at double.
He then received a bye to the quarter-finals when his second round opponent, Martin Atkins, withdrew from their match with an elbow injury while Hofstra was leading 2–0 in sets.
