Five years on from her earth-shattering performances at Alexandra Palace, Fallon Sherrock remains one of darts’ most compelling figures. The “Queen of the Palace” — a moniker earned by becoming the first woman to defeat male opponents at the PDC World Darts Championship in 2019 — continues to wield her arrows with a unique blend of flair and precision, consistently challenging perceptions in a sport she has irrevocably transformed. Her story isn’t just about throwing a 180; it’s about pioneering a pathway for an entire generation.
As of mid-July 2025, Sherrock is still right in the thick of the action. She currently sits second in the PDC Women’s Series Order of Merit with £9,500, a testament to her consistent form throughout the year. Her 2025 campaign has already seen her add to her remarkable tally of Women’s Series titles, securing Event Two and Event Eleven victories. These wins are crucial, not only for her individual ambition but also for her bid to qualify for the biggest stages, including the upcoming 2025 Betfred Women’s World Matchplay on July 27th, and ultimately, the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship.
While her 2025 World Championship run concluded in a hard-fought first-round loss to Ryan Meikle, her presence alone generated significant buzz, highlighting her continued draw as one of the sport’s most recognizable personalities. Beyond the individual accolades, Sherrock’s broader impact on women’s darts is undeniable. She serves as a beacon, inspiring increased participation and advocating for greater visibility and opportunities within the professional circuit. She’s proved time and again that skill transcends gender, paving the way for a more inclusive future in darts.
Fallon Sherrock is more than just a competitor; she’s a trailblazer whose journey continues to inspire. Her blend of competitive fire and quiet determination ensures that every time she steps to the oche, she’s not just aiming for a treble 20, but for another milestone in the ongoing revolution of darts.
