PDC

Hughes switched to the PDC following the 2018 BDO World Darts Championship, entering the 2018 PDC Q-School.[2] He was unable to win a Tour Card, but finished 12th on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit, winning one event and making another semi-final. 2018 also saw Hughes make the last 32 of the UK Open, qualify for his first European Tour event, the 2018 European Darts Open, and play in the last four Players Championship events due to his Challenge Tour success. He picked up £3,500 in these tournaments, setting him up well for a return to Q-School in 2019.

A fantastic performance on the opening day in Wigan including several very high averages meant Hughes won his PDC Tour Card for the first time on the very first day of 2019 UK Q-School, beating Kirk Shepherd 5–1.

Hughes was to win his first PDC title in June, claiming the

World Matchplay
