Graham Usher (born 14 June 1973) is an English professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events.
In 2009, Usher qualified for the 2009 UK Open as the Holsten Pils qualifier in Batley; he lost Glen Durrant 6–3 in the first round.[1]
Usher participated in the 2019 World Masters,[2] where he reached the quarter-finals but lost there to Mario Vandenbogaerde 4–2 in sets.[3]
In 2020, 2021 and 2022 consequently, he took his part in PDC Q-School three times, but failed to get a Tour Card. In these years he played on the Challenge Tour. On the 2022 Challenge Tour he reached the semi-finals at Challenge Tour 11 and Challenge Tour 18, losing to Jelle Klaasen 5–4[4] and Patrick Peters 5–3 respectively.[5]
In 2022 he played in the MODUS Super Series, where he hit a nine-dart leg in July in a match against Dan Read. He was defeated by Conan Whitehead in the October 2022 MODUS Super Series.[6]
Usher qualified for a PDC Tour Card for the first time at the 2023 Q-School, defeating Adam Warner on the second finals day.[7] Usher reached the fifth round of the 2024 UK Open, which won him his biggest haul at a single event with £5,000 in ranking money, but did not earn enough ranking money during his two years on the Pro Tour to reach the Top 64 and keep his Tour Card, falling short with £32,250 in ranking money.[8] Usher has said he plans to go to Q-School in 2025.[9]
