Career

BDO

In August 2010 Mark won the Weoley Castle Open beating Kevin Taylor in the Final. In September 2014 he won the England Classic, he beat Sam Hewson in the Quarter-final before beating Wesley Harms in the Final. In April 2015 he won the Lincolnshire Open beating Joshua Richardson in the Final. In September 2015 he won the British Open beating Scott Waites in the final.
McGeeney is currently the world number one as a result of reaching back-to-back Winmau World Masters finals, losing to Glen Durrant and Krzysztof Ratajski in 2016 and 2017 respectively, and winning the Dutch Open. In 2018, after two previous second round losses, McGeeney reached the final against Durrant. McGeeney came from 6-4 down in sets to lead 2-0 in the decider, but eventually lost 7-6. He therefore became only the second player in World Championship history after Mike Gregory in 1992 to miss championship darts and lose the match. The following month, McGeeney retained his Dutch Open title, beating Durrant 3-1 in sets in the final.

PDC

McGeeney revealed in December 2018 that he will compete in the Professional Darts Corporation's Q-School in 2019, due to new rules that allow unsuccessful Q-School competitors to compete within the BDO. After losing out in the final to Harry Ward 5–2 on the first day, he recovered to go all the way on day two, beating Carl Wilkinson 5–4 in the final to seal a two-year PDC Tour Card.
