Born in 1998 and hailing from Dortmund, Germany, Maximilian Czerwinski is a professional darts player and one of the most exciting emerging talents on the circuit.
Czerwinski's journey in darts took a major leap forward in January 2025, when he achieved his greatest success to date by earning his PDC Tour Card at the prestigious Q-School, marking the start of his professional career.
Affectionately known as “Gurke” ("cucumber" in English), Maximilian’s nickname has a unique and humorous origin. During a road trip with friends in the Netherlands, the group stopped at a supermarket to grab some snacks for the drive. While everyone else chose conventional options like candy bars and chips, Max emerged with four full-sized cucumbers – his favorite food since childhood. To his friends’ amazement, he casually devoured all four cucumbers while driving, earning him the nickname that has stuck ever since.
With his determination, talent, and one-of-a-kind personality, Maximilian Czerwinski is a player to watch as he embarks on his professional journey in the world of darts.
Maximilian Czerwinski is just getting started, with exciting challenges and opportunities on the horizon. Join him on this journey, and thank you for your incredible support every step of the way!
