Benjamin Drue Reus

Originally from Funen, Reus has played darts since 2014,^[4] and played darts at a regional level for Dartklubben Funen in Sønderborg.^[5] His status as the Danish number one darts player won him a place in the Nordic Darts Masters in 2022,^[6] but he was whitewashed in the first round 6–0 by Dimitri Van den Bergh.^[7] He qualified for it again in 2023, but was again whitewashed in the first round 6–0 by Gerwyn Price.^[8]

Reus made his World Cup of Darts debut at the 2023 edition, representing Denmark alongside Vladimir Andersen. In a surprise victory over tenth seed Austria, Drue Reus averaged 114.7, one of the highest averages in the tournament's history.^[9] In 2024, Reus secured his tour card at Q-School, becoming the second Dane to win one after Andersen in 2022.^[10] He signed to Dunvegan Enterprises management agency and with Unicorn Darts later that year.^[11][12]

At the 2024 UK Open, he became the first Danish player to win a match in the competition's history, defeating Bradley Roes 6–4. Wins over Tom Lonsdale, Callan Rydz and José de Sousa took him on a surprise run to the fifth round, where he was defeated by reigning world champion Luke Humphries.^[5][13] This was the first time a Danish player had ever reached the last 32 in a major tournament.^[14]

Outside of darts, Reus studied at UCL University College in Odense.^[4]
