Brian Raman (born 14 October 1996) is a Belgian darts player who plays in events of the World Darts Federation. In 2021, he became the second Belgian World Darts Federation world number one, after Leo Laurens in 1993.
In 2019, Raman won the Denmark Masters, beating Willem Mandigers in the Final. In September 2019, he qualified for the 2020 BDO World Darts Championship and played Paul Hogan in the Preliminary Round, losing 3 sets to 1.[2] In 2020, he attended PDC Q-school, where he reached a semi-final on day one of the final phase, losing out to Harald Leitinger.[3]
Raman won a PDC Tour Card at 2022 Q-School by winning the second event of the final phase. He beat Jules van Dongen in the final 6–4.[4]
During his two years as a PDC tour card holder, he was unable to reach the top 64 of the order of merit, hampered by a shoulder injury which required surgery in late 2023.[5] Thus, he failed to retain his tour card. As a result, he was forced to go to the 2024 Q-school. He was unable to win a new tour card and subsequently returned to playing WDF events.
