Jim Widmayer (born August 23, 1969) is an American darts player currently playing in British Darts Organisation events.

Career

Widmayer played in the inaugural World Matchplay in 1994, losing 6-8 in the first round to Keith Deller.

Prior to the 2011 Winmau World Masters, Widmayer damaged his arm whilst clearing fallen trees in the wake of Hurricane Irene.[1] His injuries were not serious, and he went on to reach the televised stages of the tournament. In the last 24, he lost 2-3 in sets to Rick Hofstra after missing seven match darts.

Widmayer qualified for the 2014 World Championship and entered in the preliminary stage, where he upset Garry Thompson 3-2 in sets. He played world number one Stephen Bunting in the first round and lost by 3 sets to 1.

In the 2015 World Championship, Widmayer again entered in the preliminary stage, where he fought back to beat Rhys Hayden 3-2 in sets after being 2-0 down. His reward was a tie in the first round against Rick Hofstra, who he lost to in the last 24 of the World Masters in 2011. He gained his revenge with a 3-1 victory, setting himself up with a tie against Martin Adams in the second round, which he lost 4-0.
