Each tournament has a £10,000 prize pool, providing opportunities for players like Beau Greaves and Fallon Sherrock—two of the series’ top performers—to earn substantial sums while competing for qualification spots in major televised events such as the Women’s World Matchplay and the PDC World Darts Championship.

Beau Greaves’ Potential: The Dominant Force
Beau Greaves, the 21-year-old English prodigy and current women’s world No. 1, is the overwhelming favorite to maximize earnings. She won 10 of the 24 events in the 2025 series (as of the latest update), earning **£11,200** so far—more than double her nearest rival. With her unmatched consistency (58-match winning streak in Women’s Series) and recent upset over Luke Littler in the Youth Worlds qualifier, Greaves could realistically win 15-18 of the remaining events, potentially banking **£30,000-£36,000** from the series alone.
– **Maximum Potential**: If Greaves wins all 24 events (unlikely but illustrative): **£48,000**.
– **Realistic 2025 Total**: £30,000+ from series, plus £10,000 from Women’s World Matchplay (as defending champion).
– **Overall 2025 Earnings**: £40,000+ (including endorsements and other events like Women’s Matchplay).
Greaves’ dominance positions her for a third straight Women’s World Matchplay title and a guaranteed PDC World Darts Championship spot.
Fallon Sherrock’s Potential: The Trailblazer
Fallon Sherrock, the 34-year-old “Queen of the Palace” and pioneer who became the first woman to win a PDC World Championship match in 2019, is a consistent contender but trails Greaves. She has won two events in 2025 so far, earning **£5,000**, and could target 6-8 victories in the remaining tournaments, netting **£12,000-£16,000** from the series. Sherrock’s experience and fan appeal make her a favorite for the Women’s World Matchplay, where she reached the final in 2024.
– **Maximum Potential**: If Sherrock wins all 24 events: **£48,000**.
– **Realistic 2025 Total**: £12,000-£16,000 from series, plus £5,000-£10,000 from Women’s World Matchplay (as a top qualifier).
– **Overall 2025 Earnings**: £20,000+ (including endorsements and wildcard events like the Grand Slam of Darts).
Sherrock’s earnings also factor into her PDC Tour Card exemption for 2025-26, earned via Women’s Series success.
Combined Potential and Context
– **Greaves + Sherrock Max Combined (Series Only)**: £96,000 (if each wins 12 events).
– **Realistic Combined 2025 Total**: £40,000-£50,000 (including Matchplay).
– **Broader Impact**: Women’s Series winnings count toward the Order of Merit for Worlds qualification (top 2) and Q-School exemptions (top 8). The series’ £240,000 total fund (up from £120,000 in 2020) reflects darts’ growing investment in women’s play, but remains a fraction of men’s Pro Tour (£5.1 million+).
Both players have already qualified for the 2025 Women’s World Matchplay (top 8), where the winner earns £10,000 and a Grand Slam of Darts spot. Greaves, with her Littler upset, is the frontrunner; Sherrock’s experience makes her a dark horse. As the series continues, their earnings could surge with deep runs—darts’ queens are thriving.
