Pruim set to replace Sherrock in 2020 BDO World Championship line-up
BDO
Vicky Pruim will be competing at the 2020 BDO World Championship and will take the place of Fallon Sherrock who decided to withdraw at the turn of 2019.
Sherrock cited 'unexpected changes to the event' after the prize fund was slashed in half due to poor ticket sales.
The Swedish ace who is now based in the UK plying her trade in county darts for Cheshire is a former semi-finalist in the event and will face Corrine Hammond meaning no change to the draw.
In response to Sherrock deciding not to play in the event, the BDO released the following statement when announcing Pruim's entry into the tournament.
"The BDO would like to wish Fallon all the best with her future darting endeavours and we are looking forward to seeing who will rise to the challenge in 2020 to be crowned BDO World Darts Champion."
It all kicks off on Saturday 4 January and will run until the 12th January, will we get a new champion in both the men's and ladies?

- Tennis has a protected ranking system for injuries and Golf has a system that as a Major winner you get invited back of a number of years regardless of your ranking. Barry Hearn gave Stephen Hendry a wildcard for some tournaments though he still had to enter at the qualification stage. Doubt the PDC would give Burnett an exemption as he has never won a PDC Major, same would apply to Steve Beaton. It’s a slippery slope to abandoning a meritocratic system, if the PDC did do so they could then (for example) award a place to Fallon Sherrock even though she has yet to qualify at any level for a tour card.Mysstree06-01-2025

- COME ON RICHIE BURNETT Surely a World Champion and player with the calibra of Richie should be exempt from ever losing a tour card and having to qualify.richieburnettrocks04-01-2025
- That's true, Richie. Taylor used to call it, "Manley's millions."MrYnyslas197103-01-2025
- The semi finals are so one sided nowadays. Bunting and Dobey had their final in the quarters and simply had no interest once they got behind and gave up., yet both will be whining for premier league places. Earning enough to keep the rankings is more important to most players. Peter Manley got to a final with Phil Taylor but was more happy that he had earned enough to pay off his mortgage and promptly and expectedly whitewashed by Philrichieburnettrocks03-01-2025
