Who is Cameron Menzies?
Cameron Menzies has been playing professional darts since the age of 18, long before the likes of Luke Littler and Gian Van Veen were tearing up the oche.
Making his debut in the BDO in 2006, it took the Scotsman a decade to emerge as a talented prospect in the darting world when he won the British Open.
A year later, Menzies broke a decade-long record set by Gary Anderson when he became the first Scottish player to win the Scottish Open.
Rising in the BDO rankings, his performances led to his debut in the PDC at the 2017 Grand Slam of Darts where he gained his first-ever win in the corporation against Simon Whitlock.
After a couple of years on the Challenge Tour in 2018 and 2019, in which he won three tournaments, it didn’t take long for Menzies to start brushing shoulders with the PDC elite.
Menzies gained his first PDC Tour Card in 2022 and didn’t look back. The Scot won his debut PDC ranking event at Players Championship 29 in 2024, defeating Stephen Bunting in the final.
In November 2024, Menzies reached the quarter-finals of his first-ever major tournament at the Grand Slam of Darts, which included a stunning last-leg decider win against James Wade in the last 16.
Cameron Menzies personal life
Away from the oche, Menzies is in a relationship with fellow darts player Fallon Sherrock and the pair live together in Milton Keynes.
The pair have never faced each other on the PDC Tour and Sherrock has stated she’d like to keep it that way.
Speaking to Online Darts, the Queen of the Palace said: “Can you imagine the arguments afterward? Regardless who wins? I think it would just be so nervy.
“I don’t think it would be a good game for anyone to watch because we’d both be quite nervous. I know everyone wants to see it but there’ll be a lot of nerves in that one.
“I always back myself he always backs himself, but hopefully we never have to see it on TV!”
Despite Menzies’ success on the PDC Tour he still works full-time as a plumber and works between tournaments.
After a humbling defeat to Dave Chisnall at the World Grand Prix in 2024, Menzies took to X to explain why he continues to work outside of darts.
In a now-deleted post, Menzies said: “This is why I work. I am so far off being a pro and today absolutely broke my heart. I am sorry.”
Following up on his deleted tweet, the Scottish star divulged more information on his ‘learning curve’ loss to Chisnall at the major tournament.
Menzies has climbed from World No. 60 to World No. 39 in the past year with his performances and it won’t be long before he drops his day job.
