Adam Lipscombe (born 30 May 1992) is an English professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He obtained a PDC Tour Card at 2025 Q-School and reached his first PDC ranking final at Players Championship 7 the same year. He reached the last 16 of the 2025 Players Championship Finals. Prior to gaining his Tour Card, he was a finalist in the Amateur Darts Circuit (ADC)'s Global Championship in 2024.
Career
Lipscombe's first matches on the PDC circuit came on the PDC Challenge Tour, the organisation's secondary tour, with results dating back to 2013.[4] He started competing in the MODUS Super Series, a weekly 12-player darts tournament based in Portsmouth, in 2023,[5] most notably being on the receiving end of a nine-dart finish from Fallon Sherrock.[6] In December 2024, Lipscombe was the runner-up at the ADC Global Championship. He was defeated by Devon Petersen 9–3 in the final.[7]
Lipscombe attended 2025 PDC Q-School in hopes of obtaining a PDC Tour Card. After initially being eliminated in the first stage of the event, he was invited back for the final stage following the withdrawal of David Pallett. A run to the semi-finals on the final day of play ensured a high position on the final ranking table, resulting in him winning a Tour Card for the first time.[8][9]
In March 2025, he reached his first PDC ranking final, losing to 8–3 to Gary Anderson at Players Championship 7.[10] In November, Lipscombe reached the last 16 of the 2025 Players Championship Finals but missed 10 match darts in a deciding leg loss to Daryl Gurney.[11]
Personal life
Lipscombe was born on 30 May 1992 in Portsmouth, England.[5][12] Outside of darts, he is also a groundworker.[13]
