That run followed back-to-back quarter-final appearances in both 2022\/23 and 2023\/24 and earned Dobey a recall to the Premier League roadshow for the 2025 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChris Dobey Darts by Target\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe darts Chris Dobey uses are the Target Chris Dobey Hollywood Action Darts.

The origin of the Chris Dobey nickname goes back to when he was playing for his super league team in the Bedlington area and he wore shorts and flip flops to a match night. One of Dobey’s friends quipped ‘who do you think you are - some kind of Hollywood star?’ and the nickname has stuck with him ever since. Dobey has played up to the ‘Hollywood’ moniker and for a period used ‘Hollywood’ by Andrew Cushin as his walk-on song for matches on stage in the PDC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAre Chris Dobey and Callan Rydz related?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eChris Dobey and fellow PDC professional Callan Rydz are related as cousins. The duo are both from the same Northumberland market town of Bedlington and have been playing on the professional tour for several years. Dobey won his PDC tour card at the start of 2015 and was joined by his younger cousin Rydz five years later in 2020. The two cousins have played against each other on numerous occasions on the professional darts tour, most notably in the semi-finals of Players Championship 3 in February 2025. It was the higher-ranked Dobey who prevailed 7-6 in a last-leg decider to advance through to the final.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChris Dobey and Newcastle United\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eChris Dobey is a lifelong supporter of the football team Newcastle United. ‘Hollywood’ has been a fan of the club since he was a young boy and attends matches when he is not playing darts on the PDC tour. In 2025, he was in the crowd at Wembley Stadium watching Newcastle’s historic victory against Liverpool in the League Cup final. It was the club’s first domestic trophy since 1955 and Dobey told the \u003ci\u003eNorthern Echo\u003c\/i\u003e: “I have been following Newcastle United since I was four or five. To be there (at Wembley) to finally see them win something, and to do it with your family and friends, it was just brilliant.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChris Dobey Career Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RsuxlDIDF_s?si=QSgpXomUmKGLMG2l\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn January 2023, Chris Dobey won his first PDC major title at the Masters. ‘Hollywood’ defeated former world champion Rob Cross 11-7 in the final to scoop the £65,000 top prize at the Marshall Arena, in Milton Keynes.
