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.

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.
