Kenny won a two-year PDC Tour Card on the final day of 2020's Q-School. He made his UK Open debut at the 2020 event, where he was eliminated in the second round. He was unable to qualify for any major events other than the World Championship, through the PDPA UK Qualifier, defeating James Wilson 7–6 to make his debut at the Alexandra Palace. In the first round he faced Dutchman Derk Telnekes and 3–2 in a deciding set. In the second round, he lost to Jermaine Wattimena, 3–1 in sets.

In 2021, he played at the 2021 UK Open, where he was seeded into the second round. There he defeated Ryan Meikle 6–5 in a deciding leg. In the third round he lost to Kai Fan Leung 6–5 in another last leg decider. Kenny secured his spot at the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship through the PDPA Tour Card Holder Qualifier, defeating Gordon Mathers 7–3 in his final match.

Being outside of the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit before the World Championship, Kenny had to win a his first round game in order to keep alive the chances of keeping his Tour Card. However he was whitewashed 3–0 by Rowby-John Rodriguez, ending the year 74th on the Order of Merit, therefore losing his Tour Card.
