Wynand Havenga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wynand Havenga (born September 6, 1965) is a South African Darts player. He made his television debut at the 2007 PDC World Darts Championship as a qualifier, having beaten almost 100 players to win the South African Masters and thus earn his place at the Circus Tavern^[1]. He beat Steve Maish in the first round and then conquered against established pro Peter Manley in round two, but bowed out in the last 16 to Darren Webster. Havenga has become a popular figure since his arrival to England, his unique celebrations while winning a leg, or even hitting a 180, has led comparisons to Cliff Lazarenko and a fan-base, who call themselves the "Havenga Boys"^[2].

Outside Darts, he is a business manager for a motor dealer and has recently joined Unicorn Darts. He also launched his own steel and soft-tip 19 gram darts made from a 90% tungsten-nickel alloy.^[2][3]
