Career
Widmayer played in the inaugural World Matchplay in 1994, losing 6-8 in the first round to Keith Deller.
Prior to the 2011 Winmau World Masters, Widmayer damaged his arm whilst clearing fallen trees in the wake of Hurricane Irene. His injuries were not serious, and he went on to reach the televised stages of the tournament. In the last 24, he lost 2-3 in sets to Rick Hofstra after missing seven match darts.
Widmayer qualified for the 2014 World Championship and entered in the preliminary stage, where he upset Garry Thompson 3-2 in sets. He played world number one Stephen Bunting in the first round and lost by 3 sets to 1.
In the 2015 World Championship, Widmayer again entered in the preliminary stage, where he fought back to beat Rhys Hayden 3-2 in sets after being 2-0 down. His reward was a tie in the first round against Rick Hofstra, who he lost to in the last 24 of the World Masters in 2011. He gained his revenge with a 3-1 victory, setting himself up with a tie against Martin Adams in the second round, which he lost 4-0.
