Krzysztof Ratajski is a Polish darts player who has established himself as the most successful player in Eastern Europe over the years. Known as “The Polish Eagle”, he celebrated his international breakthrough in 2017 by winning the World Masters. Still without a tour card, he won several Pro Tour titles, which ultimately paved his way into the PDC in 2018.

His career began in soft darts, where he collected international titles in the mid-2000s. In 2009, he qualified for the BDO World Championship for the first time and became Polish champion. He later represented his country at the World Cup of Darts, where he gained his first TV experience.

With his success at the World Masters 2017 and strong performances on the European Tour, Ratajski became an integral part of the PDC scene. After winning the tour card in 2018, several titles on the Pro Tour followed as well as regular appearances in the big majors.

2020 and 2021 were among his strongest years: Quarter-final appearances at the World Championships, the World Matchplay and the Grand Prix showed that Ratajski can also hold his own on the big stage. He only just missed out on his first TV title - among other things, he failed to reach the semi-finals of the World Series Finals.

But there were also setbacks. Consistency was not always there in 2022 and 2023, with early defeats at majors alternating with strong runs. The surprising title win at the 2023 German Darts Open in particular showed that Ratajski can be dangerous at any time.

He remained a regular on the tour in 2024, even if he has yet to hit the big time. He reached the last 16 of the World Cup of Darts with Radek Szaganski and missed out on the last 16 at the World Championships despite match darts.

This is Krzysztof Ratajski.
A pioneer. A perennial favorite. A Polish champion.
