Max Mad (born 5 August 1996) is an American professional darts player who competes in International Darts Federation (IDF) events, where he is currently ranked world number one. Nicknamed "Mayhem", he is a former two-time IDF World Champion, having won the title in 2023 and again in 2024—becoming the first IDF World champion and to win the title back-to-back. Mad is the reigning World Matchplay champion. Mad has won a total of 12 titles, three of which are majors.
Playing style and persona
Mad is known for his quick throw, high-scoring volatility, and emotional stage presence. He frequently throws within five seconds of stepping to the oche, and his ability to string together sudden runs of scoring pressure has earned him the nickname "Mayhem." He thrives in high-energy environments and often plays to the crowd—sometimes to his own detriment, losing focus during quieter or slower-paced matches.
He has drawn comparisons to players like Peter Wright and Wayne Mardle for his charisma and unpredictability. Commentators often refer to him as a “chaos engine,” capable of brilliance and collapse within the same set. Despite this, he has a reputation for stepping up in clutch moments and has beaten every top player on tour at least once.
