After being gifted a dart board for his first communion, he would hit the board to avoid his studies. Moving to the states in 2013, he and a team of expat Dutchmen started an annual tradition of competing at the Missouri State Championship in Lake of the Ozarks, returning with little more than memories. Everything changed in 2020 when the pandemic hit and online leagues sprang up and created a forum to practice and perfect his game. His first major tournament win was St. Patrick’s Open and then he went on to claim the Woody Dart Tournament title, competing in traditional wood darts.
Kicking off 2021, he finally claimed his sought-after trophy Missouri State Championship trophy and laid the groundwork for a winning year on the US circuit. He went on to claim champion titles at Cherry Bomb International, Charlotte Open, CDC (Championship Darts Circuit) Matchplay, Steel City Open, Seacoast Open and Dart Madness. Jules also earned his CDC Tour Card and invites to the WDF World Masters, Lakeside World Championships and a spot representing Team USA at the America’s Cup. Versatile in steel and soft, Jules has earned titles at Triple Bull, Tournament of Champions and Bullshooter in soft tip, getting his practice in at weekly league nights.
Jules set his sights on PDC Q-school in January 2022. Prepared for nothing more than the experience of playing against some of the top players in the world, he surprised himself after earning enough points on day 2 to be in contention for his 2-year tour card. He secured his tour card in 2nd place in the Order of Merit following his 6-1 win over Jacque Labre with 104 average.
After a slow start transitioning to the professional circuit, Jules started making moves in 2023, earning a dream spot at the 2024 World Championship. Finishing the year at 76th on the OOM, he lost his tour card and returned to Q-school January 2024. Proving he deserves to be called a professional darts player, he finished 2nd on OOM and earned a new two-year tour card.
Winmau signed Jules on as a player in 2024 and later this year he gets to play himself in a darts-based film called Bulls the Movie.
