Career
Larsson reached the semi-final of the 2006 WDF Europe Cup, scoring wins over Tony O'Shea and Martin Phillips before losing to Niels de Ruiter. He then reached the final of the Sweden National Championship, losing to Alan Norris.
On 4 December 2008 Larsson qualified for the 2009 BDO World Darts Championship, winning one of five spots. He defeated Steve Farmer in the earlier rounds and then beat Paul Gibbs and Stephen Bunting to qualify. He was drawn against O'Shea in the first round and lost 3–0.
In 2018 Larsson competed on the PDC Nordic & Baltic Pro Tour, finishing in the top two to qualify for the 2019 PDC World Darts Championship.[2] In the first round he defeated Robert Thornton in his best win to date before losing to Kim Huybrechts in the second round.
On 19 January 2020, Larsson won a two-year PDC Tour Card by finishing fifth on the European Q-School Order of Merit.[3] He played on the PDC Pro Tour in 2020 and 2021, but only earned £20,000 in ranking money and therefore lost his card.[4] Larsson finished second on the PDC Nordic & Baltic rankings in 2021 and 2022 which qualified him for the PDC World Darts Championship.[5] However, Larsson lost in the first round on each occasion.[6]
