Michael Rosenauer started to play darts in the 1980's. First he played only soft-darts while by now he plays almost only steel-darts.
He was a very successful soft-dart player both national and international and in steel-dart he soon played himself under the Top Ten
in Germany.
in 2007 he qualified through the qualifier for the BDO World Championship but when offered a wildcard for the PDC World
Championship he decided he would prefer this and produced a passionate controversy. Many hoped he would after that be the first
German player to play the PDC Pro Tour circuit but that didn´t happen. Rosenauer even withdraw himself for a short time but he seems
to be back now.
