Ep 11 Tom Bissell (Straight into the life on the PDC)

In this latest episode of The Oche Life I was pleased to be joined by current PDC Tour Card holder Tom Bissell who joined me straight off of a competition win back home in the Black Country including defeating former PDC & BDO star Jamie Hughes inbthe quarter finals. Tom joins us after his first full year on the biggest tour in Darts as we find out about his experiences and more including making it into 3x European Tour events in Austria, Hungary & Germany. Tom would play Rugby growing up before getting into Darts after an injury and would play in the pub leagues, county leagues and Super leagues down in the Black Country alongside some quality operators. Tom would go onto Q School and would be a star of the event gaining his full PDC Tour card which he would openly admit was a stark contrast from the days of the leagues! Tom would play some of the best players on the Players Championship floor events including the likes of Gerwyn Price & Stephen Bunting. In Tom's Euro Tour experiences at Austrian Darts Open  would lose to Ricardo Pietreczko while in Hungary he would beat Dirk van Duijvenbode before losing to Mike De Decker and in Germany put on a valiant effort in a narrow defeat to Luke Woodhouse something The Bizzness can take great experiences from! Had a lot of fun chatting with Tom who was a really nice guy! All the best for 2026! Remember to download via Podbean, Spotify & Apple Podcasts!
