Career

Viljanen won the boys' singles event at the 1999 WDF World Cup in Durban, South Africa. In 2004, he progressed to the last 32 of the World Masters, losing 2-3 to Tony West.

Viljanen competed on the Scandinavian Darts Corporation (SDC) Tour in 2014, and finished third in the Scandinavian Order of Merit. He was awarded a place in the 2015 PDC World Championship after Jarkko Komula, who had finished second on the Scandinavian Tour, was excluded following a suspension by the Finnish Darts Organisation.[1] He lost 1-4 in the preliminary round to Sascha Stein.[2]

Viljanen won three SDC Tour events in 2015 and finished top of the Order of Merit, thus qualifying for the 2016 PDC World Championship.[3] After winning 2-1 against Sven Groen in the preliminary round, he was beaten 0-3 by Kevin Painter in the first round.[4]
