De Vos won the 2015 [BDO World Trophy](/source/BDO_World_Trophy) in [Manchester](/source/Manchester). He started his run beating [Rick Hofstra](/source/Rick_Hofstra) 6–3, and then thrashing American [Jim Widmayer](/source/Jim_Widmayer) 6–0. On the final day, he defeated [Wesley Harms](/source/Wesley_Harms) in the quarter-finals, [Mark McGeeney](/source/Mark_McGeeney) in what was a close game in the Semis, and won a last-leg decider in a classic final against [Jeffrey de Graaf](/source/Jeffrey_de_Graaf) 10–9.
