2005 WDF World Cup Runner up, single and pairs

Per Laursen (born April 16, 1966) is a Danish darts player.

Laursen reached the final of the WDF World Cup in both single and pairs (with Brian Sorensen) in 2005 and won the Welsh Open earlier that year - performances which enabled him to qualify for the BDO World Darts Championship for the first time in 2006.

On his television debut in the 2006 BDO World Darts Championship, he defeated number five seed Tony Eccles in the first round but lost to Shaun Greatbatch in round two.

Laursen became the first Dane to play in the PDC World Darts Championship in the 2007 competition beating Colin Monk 3-0 (3-1, 3-2, 3-2) in the first round, but lost to Dennis Priestley in the second round, despite the fact that Laursen was 3-1 up and missed eight darts to win the match before losing 4-3 (2-3, 2-3, 3-2, 0-3, 3-0, 3-2, 3-1).

He came through the Danish Qualifying system for the second time for the 2008 PDC World Darts Championship but lost 3-1 (3-2, 1-3, 3-2, 3-1) to Alan Tabern in the first round.

Laursen has had some success in tournaments in his own country, reaching the final of the Danish Open in 2006 (losing to Vincent van der Voort) and winning the Danish National Championships in 2004, 2007 and 2008

Laursen once again represented his country in the 2009 PDC World Darts Championship, having finished top of the Danish Darts Standing for a third successive year. He was beaten 3-1 (2-3, 3-2, 3-1, 3-2) in the first round by Wes Newton.

At the 2010 PDC World Darts Championship Denmark had lost their direct place and Laursen, who had won the Danish qualification for the fourth time, had to qualify through the preliminary round but lost to Christian Perez of the Philippines.
