Ukrainian player Tim P'yuzi received a risky nickname: will he be allowed to use it at the World Championship.

According to The Sun: The World Darts Championship is once again preparing bright matches for its fans!

The lineup of this year’s winter show at “Ali Pali” becomes clearer as December approaches.

Title defender Luke Littler returns to defend his title after a successful 2025, while Premier League Darts champion Luke Humphries will try to regain his title.

Michael van Gerwen also hopes for successful performances, as 2025 was an unsuccessful year for him: he lost in the “Newky” final last time.

For the first time at the World Championships in darts, Tim “The Magnet” P'yuzi will debut, whose nickname evokes ambiguous associations.

SunSport is ready to share all the information about Tim P'yuzi and his nickname.

Who is Tim P'yuzi and why is his nickname - The Magnet?

Tim P'yuzi is a 33-year-old player from Australia.

He earned a spot at the World Championship by finishing first in the first round of ADA in Victoria in September.

His nickname “The Magnet” hints at his attraction to women, as it sounds similar to a term related to female sexual anatomy.

Will Tim P'yuzi have to change his nickname at the World Championship?

PDC has not announced yet whether Tim P'yuzi will be allowed to use his nickname during the winter tournament at “Ali Pali”.

However, in 2023, Owen Bates, who also qualified for the tournament, was stripped of the opportunity to use the nickname “The Master”, which has similar implications as Tim P'yuzi’s.

Although there are no official rules regarding nicknames at the World Darts Championship, PDC may prohibit the use of offensive, obscene, or unacceptable nicknames.

Last year’s World Darts Championship promised to be interesting, but it is still uncertain whether Tim P'yuzi will keep his nickname. This question may matter not only for the player himself but also for society, which discusses the issues of being or not being. Whether this will affect his performances at the championship, time will tell.
