John Part (born June 29, 1966) is a Canadian professional darts player and commentator, nicknamed Darth Maple. He is a three-times World Champion, having won the 1994 BDO World Darts Championship on his world championship debut, and the PDC World Championship in 2003 and 2008. Part has the distinction of being the first non-UK player to win the World Championship. Part's first Championship was the second time a non-seeded player won the BDO World Darts Championship, and one of the few times where a player only lost one set in the entire tournament. His nine-year gap between his first and second World Championships is tied with Ted Hankey for the longest gap between World Championships, and his third triumph in 2008 saw him become the first player in history to win a world title in three different venues, and the first to win at the Alexandra Palace. When he won in 2008 he was after Phil Taylor, Eric Bristow, Raymond van Barneveld and John Lowe only the fifth player to win three or more world championships and the second player (after Taylor) to win several PDC titles. In 2017, he was inducted into the PDC Hall of Fame. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
