Tim Pusey (born 26 August 1992) is an Australian darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and World Darts Federation (WDF) events.
Career
Pusey's first PDC affiliate event was 2015 DPA Harrows Australian Grand Prix 3 making the quarter-finals.[2]
Pusey has won eleven titles in his career.[3] He has won one WDF event at 2021 West Coast Classic and 10 PDC affiliate tour titles, seven DPA titles and three ADA titles.[4]
In 2025, he finished top of the order of merit in the Australia Darts Association (ADA) tour after winning back-to-back titles on the final weekend. As he resulted he qualified for the ANZ Premier League and 2026 PDC World Darts Championship.[5] On night six, he defeated both Ben Robb and Simon Whitlock 5–3 and Jonny Tata 5-2 in the final to win the night in Wellington.[6] He qualified for Finals Night in Brisbane after finishing fourth but lost his semi-final 8–2 to Raymond Smith.[7]
Ahead of 2026 World Championship, Pusey announced the PDC had banned him from using his nickname 'The Magnet' due to it creating a vulgar innuendo when paired with his surname.[8] Playing under his new nickname, 'Thunder from Down Under', Pusey lost to Keane Barry 3–0 on his World Championship debut.[9]
