Darren Tang

Darren Tang (born June 14, 1993) is an American professional ten-pin bowler who joined the Professional Bowlers Association in 2016 after a collegiate career at San Jose State University. Born in San Francisco, he currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. He has also competed internationally as a member of Team USA.

Tang currently uses a two-handed shovel-style delivery with a dominant right hand. He has won two titles on the PBA Tour. His first title came as a one-handed bowler in the 2021 Bowlerstore.com Classic. His second title was earned bowling two-handed at the 2026 PBA Chameleon Championship. This gave him the distinction as the only player in PBA history to win separate PBA Tour titles bowling one-handed and two-handed. He has also won 15 PBA Regional Tour titles, and was the 2022 PBA Northwest Region Player of the Year. Tang also won an additional $20,000 for earning the most points during the PBA's summer series that year.

Tang then went through three seasons of struggles, finishing 28th on the Tour points list in 2022 before falling to 40th in 2023 and 56th in 2024. After poor finishes in the first two events of the 2025 PBA Tour season, Tang made the bold decision to switch from one-handed bowling to the two-handed shovel-style delivery. Later in the 2025 season, Tang won a PBA Regional Title using the new delivery. After finishing 55th on the 2025 PBA Tour points list, Tang moved up to a tenth place ranking in 2026.
