Mark Dudbridge (born 11 January 1973) is a professional darts player from Bristol, England. He started playing in his very early teens, citing Dennis Priestley as one of his heroes. Dudbridge made a name for himself in the British Darts Organisation by winning the Winmau World Masters in 2002, defeating Tony West in the final (Tony went on to win the next year). Shortly afterward, Mark defected to rival company the Professional Darts Corporation. His greatest achievement to date was reaching the World Championship final of 2005, where he lost a competitive match to Phil Taylor, 7-4. He's also reached the final of the World Matchplay of 2004, which he also lost to Taylor. Dudbridge is also a property developer, and is married with two children.
