Career

[edit | edit source]

2017–2018

[edit | edit source]

Pilgrim qualified for the 2017 UK Open through the Amateur Qualifiers.[6] Making his debut appearance in a PDC major event, he lost in the first round but qualified for the 2018 UK Open again a year later and reached the third round, where he lost to Steve West in a deciding leg.

Pilgrim played on the 2022 PDC Challenge Tour series, reaching the semi-finals at event thirteen.[7]

He made his Players Championship debut at Players Championship 11, appearing as a call-up due to his ranking on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit. He lost to Brendan Dolan 6–5 in the first round.[8]

Pilgrim reached the semi-finals of MODUS Super Series 1 Champions Week, but lost 4–3 to eventual champion Conan Whitehead.[9][10]

Pilgrim reached his first PDC Players Championship quarter-final at Players Championship 18.[11][12][13]

In August, he won Challenge Tour 16, defeating Andy Boulton 5–1 in the final.[14][15]

He also competed in the MODUS Super Series. On 15 August, he broke the series' record for a three-dart average with a 122.69 in a 4–0 win against Dennie Olde Kalter.[16][5][17] On the same day, he also set the tournament's record for highest losing average, with a 118.88 in a 4–2 defeat to Scott Taylor.[18] Pilgrim also hit a nine-dart finish in this match.[19][17]

In 2024, Pilgrim again played in Players Championship events, on the 2024 PDC Pro Tour.[20] In May, Pilgrim hit his second career nine-dart finish in his deciding leg loss to Jelle Klaasen at PDC Players Championship 11.[21]

In December, Pilgrim topped his group at the Amateur Darts Circuit's ADC Global Championship.[22] He reached the semi-finals in Week One.[23] He advanced to the Global Finals, where he made the semi-finals before losing to eventual champion Devon Petersen 7–3.[24]

In January, Pilgrim won a PDC Tour Card for the first time at PDC Qualifying School.[25] He entered in stage two of Q-School, virtue of his Challenge Tour Order of Merit ranking, giving him an exemption from stage one. In stage two, he finished second in the UK Q-School of Merit table, earning him his Tour Card.[5][26]

On 10 February, he reached his second Players Championship quarter-final at Players Championship 1.[27] Two days later, he qualified for his third PDC European Tour event, the 2025 Belgian Darts Open, through the Tour Card Holder Qualifier.[28] He was defeated by Ryan Searle 6–2 in the first round.[29]

On 30 May at the 2025 European Darts Open, Pilgrim achieved a 6–3 victory over Madars Razma in the first round. It was his second win on the European Tour.[30] He lost in a deciding leg to Peter Wright in the second round.[31]
