Peter Hunt (born 22 January 1965) is a New Zealand former professional darts player who played in the BDO/WDF and PDC circuit. With multiple titles to his name, he was one of New Zealand's leading darts players.
Hunt has played in four BDO World Darts Championships, first qualifying in 1993, the last unified World Championship before the infamous split in darts, losing 3âÂÂ0 to Scotland's Ronnie Sharp. He returned in 1995, beating Belgium's Stefan Eeckelaert 3âÂÂ0 in the first round before losing 3âÂÂ2 in the second round to Colin Monk. It would be eight years before Hunt returned to Lakeside in 2003, losing in the first round to Bob Taylor. He returned a year layer, but again lost in round one to Paul Hogan.
Hunt also played twice in the International Darts League. In 2003, he lost both of his opening group games to Vincent van der Voort and Tony O'Shea and was eliminated despite beating Shaun Greatbatch. In 2004, Hunt won his opening two group games against Tony David and Co Stompé and qualified for the last 16 group stages. But after two crushing defeats, 7âÂÂ1 against Mervyn King and 7âÂÂ0 against Martin Adams, Hunt was eliminated but managed to restore some pride in a 7âÂÂ6 win over Vincent van der Voort.
Hunt played in the World Darts Trophy twice but lost in the first round on both occasions. In 2003, he lost 3âÂÂ2 to Bob Taylor and in 2004, he was beaten by Raymond van Barneveld 3âÂÂ1.
Hunt is a winner of the New Zealand Masters a record seven times, with his first win coming in 1993 and his latest win in 2010.
