Denis Ovens (born July 1, 1957 in Enfield) is an English darts player currently ranked number 9 in the PDC World Rankings. He is nicknamed The Heat and is now based in Stevenage Ovens is widely regarded as one of the most consistent players in the circuit, though he has as yet failed to convert his form from the circuit to the big stages on television. His constant second round exits in numerous televised tournaments has led him to be called by commentators as The Nearly Man. His one good run came in the 2005 PDC World Darts Championship, reaching the quarter-finals before losing to former World Masters champion Mark Dudbridge. He has since suffered two succesive second round exits in the 2006 World Championship against Steve Alker and the 2007 World Championship against Alan Tabern in a thriller that went to a sudden death deciding leg. Ovens also narrowly missed a double 12 for a nine dart finish and a £15,000 bonus.

  • Ovens is known for his trademark unshaven looks. Ovens stated on ESPN's World Series of Darts that he kept shaving before a darts match and always lost, so he thought "Ok, don't shave".
  • Ovens is a devoted Chelsea fan.
