THE son of darts World Cup winner Simon Whitlock will make his debut in the MODUS Super Series next week.
Mason, 20, is following in his father’s footsteps and creating his own success on the oche.
Darts talent is apparently in the Whitlock family’s genes.
Aussie star Simon, 55, has had a glittering career in the sport, winning the 2012 European Championship and 2022 World Cup of Darts for Australia with Damon Heta.
And now his son Mason will compete in the MODUS Super Series – which is known as a great tournament to see some of the best players without a PDC Tour Card.
This will be the youngster’s first time to show his dad is not the only one who can throw a 180.

But the Aussie has not been in top form this year after crashing out of the World Championship in the last 64 to Gary Anderson – currently ranked world No45.
