Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Van Schie made his debut on the PDC Pro Tour in 2010, taking part in Players Championship 28 in Nuland, but was eliminated in the Last 128.[7][8] He was a part of the Dutch boys' team at the 2011 WDF Europe Youth Cup alongside Jimmy Hendriks, Jeffrey de Zwaan and Mike Zuydwijk who won the Boys Overall gold medal.[9]
2024
[edit]Van Schie had his breakthrough year in 2024. During the 2024 WDF season, he won eight titles. He began the year by winning the Romanian Classic, defeating fellow Dutchman Alexander Merkx 5–4 in the final.[10] He followed his maiden title by winning the Team X-Treme Open, Swiss Open, Catalonia Open, Italian Grand Masters, Belfry Open and the Hungarian Classic. He ended the season with victory at the Czech Open, where he beat Andreas Harrysson 5–2 to win the title.[11][12] He also made the final of the Denmark Open and World Open, losing to Connor Scutt and Reece Colley.[13][14] His ranking points accumulated over the year saw him rise to No. 1 in the WDF men's ranking.[15]
Van Schie also found success in the PDC in the same year. He won his first PDC Challenge Tour title at Event 18 where he defeated Daniel Ayres 5–4 in the final.[16] He finished the year 10th on the 2024 Challenge Tour Order of Merit. Van Schie returned to the PDC Pro Tour for the first time in fourteen years off the back of his Challenge Tour results, reaching the Last 32 twice. He reached the final of the West Europe Qualifier for the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship, but missed match darts before eventually losing 7–6 to Stefan Bellmont.[17]
After missing out on the PDC World Championship, Van Schie made his world championship debut at the 2024 WDF World Darts Championship, entering the second round as second seed. He was considered the favourite to win the title due to his form at WDF events.[18][19] He won his opening match against Björn Lejon 3–0 in sets with a 98.98 three-dart average. However, van Schie was eliminated from the tournament in the third round, losing 3–1 to Dutch Open champion Jarno Bottenberg.[20]
2025
[edit]Van Schie retained his Catalonia Open and Belfry Open titles in 2025, hitting a nine-dart finish on his way to winning the latter.[21][22] In November, he won the 2025 World Masters by defeating Jeff Smith 7–2 in the final, becoming the fourth Dutch player to win the tournament after Raymond van Barneveld, Michael van Gerwen and Wesley Plaisier.[23][24]
Van Schie entered the 2025 WDF World Championship as the number one seed and reached the final of the tournament, defeating defending champion Shane McGuirk en route.[25] He faced Mitchell Lawrie in the final, who had won the youth title earlier in the day. Van Schie lost the first three sets of the match before winning the next six in succession for a 6–3 comeback victory and his first world title.[26]
2026
[edit]In January 2026, Van Schie won a PDC Tour Card at Q-School.[27]
Personal life
[edit]Van Schie has been noted for his height, standing at 2.07 metres (6 ft 9 in) tall.[28] He originally chose to play basketball as a child, but lost interest and began playing darts.[29]
