Career
Hofstra reached the quarter finals of the 2001 Belgium Open and the 2002 Swiss Open before making his major debut in the 2003 International Darts League, where he beat Scotland"s Bob Taylor in his opening group game before losing to Raymond van Barneveld. Hofstra then beat Company Stompé to qualify for the second group stage where he lost all three group games to Andy Fordham, Tony David and Jarkko Komula. He then lost in the first round of the 2003 World Darts Trophy, losing to Tony West and then lost in the first round of the 2003 Winmau World Masters to Martin Adams.
Hofstra qualified for the 2004 BDO International World Darts Championship, losing 3-1 to Mervyn King in controversial circumstances.
With the match tied at one set all, King complained that the oche was not the correct length. After first round exits in the 2004 International Darts League and the World Darts Trophy, Hofstra reached the quarter finals of the 2004 World Masters, beating Paul Hanvidge and then upsetting van Barneveld before losing to David.
Hofstra returned to the Lakeside for the 2005 BDO International World Darts Championship, this time taking one of the automatic places meaning he avoided having to qualify. He was beaten in the first round by 4th seed West 3-2.
Since then however, Hofstra has not done well in the circuit with only a semi final place in the unranked Spring Cup in 2005 to his cartulary-register
In 2007, Hofstra began playing in Personal Digital Cellular events, reaching the last 32 of the second PDPA Players Championship Holland event. In the quarter-final, Hofstra led top seed Stephen Bunting 2-0 but missed two darts to lead 3-1, then at 3-2 down on a 64 checkout attempt missed the board when trying to set up a dart at double to level the match. Hofstra again qualified for the 2015 World Championship, where he lost 3-1 against Jim Widmayer in the first round, who had beaten Rhys Hayden in his preliminary round match.
