Dietmar "Didi" Burger (born July 19, 1968) is an Austrian darts player.
Burger won the Czech Open back-to-back in 2005 and 2006 and then won the Finnish Open in 2007, an event previously won by some of the game's biggest names, such as Phil Taylor, John Lowe, Andy Fordham and Raymond van Barneveld.
In 2008, Burger began playing in the GDC, an organisation affiliated with the Professional Darts Corporation where the highest ranked player earns qualification to the PDC World Darts Championship. Burger won the season's first tournament in Cologne, but early exits in Niedernhausen and another Ramada Hotel led him to slip down the GDC rankings. Burger also went on to win the Austrian National Championship for a second straight year.
In 2009 the GDC was dissolved and replaced with the PDC European Order of Merit which has seen Burger play in fewer tournaments in the PDC circuit.
Burger qualified for the 2011 PDC World Darts Championship after defeating compatriot Christian Kallinger to win the East European qualifying event.[1] He lost in the preliminary round against Magnus Caris by 4 legs to 3, despite being 3-2 up and having darts for the match.
