He reached the semi-finals of the 2017 World Masters before losing to eventual champion Krzysztof Ratajski.

2026 In the first round of the 2026 World Championship, Menzies lost 3–2 to Charlie Manby. As Manby celebrated, Menzies began punching the underside of a drinks table on stage out of frustration, cutting his right hand open in the process. He was subsequently taken to hospital. Menzies later apologised for his behaviour, revealing that his uncle had recently died but that it was "no excuse for what [he] did on the stage". He represented Scotland for the first time at the World Cup of Darts, qualifying ahead of Peter Wright to team with Gary Anderson. The pair reached the semi-finals, where they were beaten by eventual champions England.
Menzies won his third PDC ranking title at Players Championship 23 in July, defeating Cristo Reyes 8–5 in the final. Later that month, he won his opening match at the World Matchplay by beating second seed Luke Humphries 10–7, completing the upset victory with a 170 checkout. During his second-round match against Ross Smith, Menzies began feeling unwell and was taken off the stage. The match was abandoned and Smith received a place in the quarter-finals, with the PDC later revealing that Menzies had been experiencing high blood pressure, which led to dizziness and him subsequently fainting.
Personal life Menzies played as a goalkeeper for Scottish football club Lugar Boswell Thistle. He is a supporter of Rangers.
Menzies dated fellow darts player Fallon Sherrock from 2021 to 2025. In May 2025, Menzies revealed that he had quit his day job as a plumber to focus on darts full-time.
