2019
editLauby went to PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School, entering the 2019 UK Q–School, attempting to earn a PDC Tour Card, but lost in the final on the second day of qualification, thereby failing to win a card.
In October, Lauby beat Gary Mawson in the finals to win the CDC North American Continental Cup. This win ultimately lead to Lauby qualifying for the 2021 PDC World Darts Championship.
At the end of 2019, Lauby held 5th place on the CDC North American Two-Year Order of Merit and 6th place for the 2019 CDC North American Order of Merit.

editIn the CDC USA Tour 2021, Lauby won two events and reached a final in six events. Lauby won the first two events by beating Leonard Gates and Gary Mawson, 6–2 and 6–1 respectively, but lost the final of the third event to Leonard Gates, 5–6. He topped the year-end rankings and secured a place in the World Championship for a second year running and a place at the CDC Continental Cup on November 20.
