Angry Ginge Eyes Darts Career as He Teases Q-School Entry in 2027

The darts world might soon welcome a new contender as Twitch streamer Angry Ginge hints at a potential career shift. The 24-year-old from Manchester, whose real name is Morgan Burtwhistle, has teased plans to enter Q-School in 2027, possibly following in the footsteps of his close friend and two-time world champion Luke Littler.

In a recent statement, Ginge expressed his intentions to experience the pressures of professional darts, saying, “I might go to Q-School next year, though. Not to win, because I know I won’t win. To see what it’s like.” His enthusiasm for the sport is well-established, as he has been a consistent supporter of Littler, cheering him on at major events like the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship held at Alexandra Palace.

During the championship, Littler successfully defended his title, defeating Dutch player Gian van Veen with an impressive score of 7-1. This victory solidified Littler’s status at the top of the PDC’s Order of Merit and set the stage for his participation in the upcoming Premier League Darts, where he will face off against competitors such as Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries.

Ginge’s aspirations reflect a growing interest in darts among influencers and entertainers. Alongside fellow influencers Pieface and Bambino Becky, he took part in a Sky Sports Walk-On Experience during the World Championship, showcasing the sport’s appeal beyond traditional fan bases.

While Ginge considers stepping into the oche, Littler has distanced himself from reality television, particularly the show “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!” He expressed his reluctance to participate in the infamous Bushtucker Trials, where contestants consume insects and face other challenges. “I said I would, for the right money, but I’ve been watching it now, and no. I just couldn’t,” Littler remarked.

As Ginge prepares for what could be a significant career move, the darts community watches closely. His journey into professional darts may inspire others and highlight the sport’s increasing popularity among young audiences. With the potential for fresh talent entering the arena, the 2027 darts season could prove to be an exciting chapter for fans and players alike.
