Stowe Buntz (born January 25, 1979) is an American professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He is active in the Championship Darts Circuit, the North American affiliate of the PDC.

Career

In October 2023, Buntz won the 2023 CDC Continental Cup to secure his place at the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts. This came after placing as the second-ranked American on the 2023 CDC circuit to lock in his debut at the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, a rank made possible after becoming the first player in CDC history to win three tour events in the same weekend. In November, Buntz was drawn into Group E with Peter Wright, Dave Chisnall, and Stephen Bunting. His debut match on his first televised major event was against former two-time world champion Peter Wright, where he won 5–1. In his next match, he faced Stephen Bunting, defeating him 5–3, before losing his last match in his group to Dave Chisnall 5–4; however, despite the loss, he still topped first in the group. In the last 16, Buntz defeated the runner-up of Group F, Andrew Gilding, 10–5 before exiting the tournament at the quarterfinals in a rematch against Stephen Bunting, losing 16–8.
