Jani Haavisto (born 11 May 1987) is a Finnish professional darts player.
Haavisto won two events on the Professional Darts Corporation's Scandinavian Tour in 2012, finishing second in the Order of Merit to qualify for the 2013 PDC World Darts Championship. He defeated compatriot Jarkko Komula in the preliminary round, before being beaten 1âÂÂ3 in sets by Gary Anderson in the first round, receiving praise for his high-scoring.
Haavisto entered Q School in an attempt to win a PDC Pro Tour Card to play the full circuit in 2013 and 2014, and secured it on the second day by beating Colin Fowler 6âÂÂ4 in his final round match. He played in his first World Cup of Darts in February with Jarkko Komula and qualified from Group F courtesy of a 5âÂÂ4 win over the US and then shocked the Dutch pair of Raymond van Barneveld and Michael van Gerwen, both of whom had won major titles in 2012, with a 5âÂÂ3 victory in the last 16. They then defeated the host nation Germany in the quarter-finals to face the Belgian brothers Ronny and Kim Huybrechts in the semi-finals. Haavisto lost to Kim 1âÂÂ4, but Komula beat Ronny meaning a doubles match was required to settle the tie. However, they were whitewashed 0âÂÂ4 to exit the tournament.
Haavisto won the first Scandinavian Tour event of 2013 in Finland beating Ulf Ceder 6âÂÂ0 in the final. He also won the third event with a 6âÂÂ3 victory over Per Laursen in the final. After four events he was top of the SDC Order of Merit which earned him a place in the European Championship for the first time. Haavisto faced Justin Pipe in the first round and was defeated 6âÂÂ3. In the final of the Scandinavian qualifier for the 2014 World Championship, Haavisto was edged out 6âÂÂ5 by Dennis Lindskjold. Haavisto and Komula squandered a 3âÂÂ1 lead in the first round of the World Cup of Darts against Poland as they suffered a shock 5âÂÂ4 defeat. Haavisto won twice on the 2014 Scandinavian Pro Tour to top the Order of Merit which earned him a place in the 2015 Darts Championship. He was beaten 4âÂÂ1 in legs by John Michael in the preliminary round. Haavisto only played in one other event during the whole of 2015.
Haavisto returned to PDC darts in 2026 after an absence of eight years. He qualified for the 2026 Belgian Darts Open after beating Andreas Harrysson 6âÂÂ1 in the final of the event's Nordic & Baltic Qualifier, and also won the Nordic & Baltic Pro Tour Event 2 with a 6âÂÂ4 victory over Oskar Lukasiak.
