Fallon Sherrock has never been one to shy away from the spotlight — and this week, she stepped right back into it with a bombshell revelation that has the entire darts world buzzing. After months of speculation, whispers, and fan theories about where her career might be headed next, Sherrock finally broke her silence — and what she said left fans stunned.
In a candid interview ahead of the Women’s World Matchplay at Blackpool’s legendary Winter Gardens, Sherrock opened up about her future in the sport. Known for her trailblazing role in women’s darts — from becoming the first woman to beat a man at the PDC World Championship to winning the inaugural Women’s World Matchplay — Fallon has already cemented her legacy. But now, she’s making it clear: she’s not done yet… but changes are coming.
“I’ve had to reflect a lot recently,” Sherrock shared. “This sport has given me so much, but I’ve also given it everything. I’m not saying goodbye, but I’m definitely thinking about what comes next — both in and out of darts.”
Cue the collective gasp.
Fans immediately jumped to social media to try to decode what this means. Is she taking a break? Retiring? Switching focus? Or is this just the calm before a new storm of Sherrock magic? While Fallon didn’t confirm any retirements, her tone hinted at a potential shift — one that could see her reduce her playing schedule or possibly focus more on mentoring, media work, or family life.
“She sounds like she’s closing a chapter,” one fan commented on Twitter. “Whatever it is, we just want her to be happy. She’s already changed the game.”
And she truly has. Fallon’s rise from a relative unknown to a globally recognized darts icon has been nothing short of meteoric. Her history-making wins at the 2019 PDC World Championship lit a fire under the sport, inspiring a new generation of female players and shaking up a long-standing boys’ club.
But being a trailblazer comes with its challenges. The pressure. The scrutiny. The constant media attention. And Fallon has handled it all with trademark poise and grace.
That’s what makes this revelation so powerful. It’s not a dramatic exit or a desperate plea for attention — it’s a moment of honest reflection from someone who’s given so much to her sport, and now wants to shape the next part of her journey on her own terms.
For now, Sherrock is still locked in on Blackpool, where she’ll look to reclaim her Matchplay crown. And if it is her last big stage moment for a while, you can bet she’ll make it one to remember.
