Jermaine Wattimena (born 9 March 1988) is a Dutch darts player.

Career

Wattimena won the first event he entered as he claimed the 2008 Malta Open by beating Vincent Busuttil in the final.[1] He made his British Darts Organisation debut in a major event at the World Masters and won four games to reach the last 24 where he lost 3–0 to Steve Douglas.[2] In 2014, Wattimena won the German Gold Cup courtesy of defeating Jan Dekker 3–2 in the final.[3] Later in the year he qualified for the 2015 PDC World Championship by winning the Central European Qualifier, concluding with a 6–3 victory over Kenny Neyens.[4] Wattimena entered the event in the preliminary round and narrowly lost 4–3 to Robert Marijanović, missing three match darts in the final leg.[5]

He entered PDC Qualifying School in January 2015 and was eliminated in the final round of the third day by Steve Douglas. However, Wattimena had already done enough through the Order of Merit to not even need to play on the fourth day as he finished joint second on the Order of Merit to earn a two-year PDC tour card.[6] He qualified for the UK Open and defeated Johnny Clayton 5–1 in the first round, but then lost 5–4 against Kevin McDine.[7]
