Wynand Havenga (born 6 September 1965) is a South African former professional darts player.
He made his television debut at the 2007 PDC World Darts Championship as a qualifier, having beaten almost 100 players to win the South African Masters and thus earn his place at the Circus Tavern.[1] He beat Steve Maish in the first round and then conquered established pro Peter Manley in round two, but bowed out in the last 16 to Darren Webster. Havenga became a popular figure during the World Championship, his unique celebrations while winning a leg, or even hitting a 180, led comparisons to Cliff Lazarenko and a fan-base, who call themselves the "Havenga Boys".[2] However, he has since struggled with a shoulder injury and his ranking has since fallen to 500, after the £8,500 he earned at Circus Tavern, was wiped off in 2009 due to the two-year-cyclical rule of the PDC Order of Merit.
Outside darts, he is a business manager for a motor dealer and has recently joined Unicorn Darts. He also launched his own steel and soft-tip 19 gram darts made from a 90% tungsten-nickel alloy.[2] [3]
