History-maker Fallon Sherrock will compete at her fifth PDC World Darts Championship in December after qualifying from the Women’s Series Order of Merit.
In 2019, Sherrock became the first female player to win a match at the Alexandra Palace tournament.
She went into Sunday’s sixth and final Women’s Series double-header in Leicester £2,100 ahead of Japan’s Mikuru Suzuki and when the pair went head-to-head in the first final of the day in Event 23, the 30-year-old Briton won 5-2 to secure her return to the big stage for a fifth time.
The second title of the day went to Angela Kirkwood, who claimed a maiden Women’s Series success after a 13-dart leg helped her beat Anastasia Dobromyslova in Event 24.
On Saturday, Noa-Lynn van Leuven became the first transgender woman to qualify for the World Championship after beating Beau Greaves in the Event 21 final.
The 28-year-old from the Netherlands threw a 109.64 average in her 5-3 win to secure her place.
It was a fourth Women’s Series event win of 2024 for Van Leuven, while Greaves beat Sherrock 5-1 in the Event 22 final later on Saturday for her eighth Women’s Series title of the year.
Greaves topped the Order of Merit ahead of Van Leuven but the 20-year-old English player said after her Women’s World Matchplay success in July that she did not intend to take her place at the World Championship and would instead try to defend her WDF Women’s World Championship title.
Van Leuven and Greaves will both feature in the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton next month.
