Mikuru Suzuki captures her fifth title at PDC Women's Series

Mikuru Suzuki won the third tournament of the PDC Women's Series 2024 on Sunday. The Japanese saw off Deta Hedman in the final to take her fifth Women's Series title.

Suzuki ran into no trouble in her first five matches. She defeated Teri-Frances Kidwell (4-0), Kaori Sagawa (4-0), Lorraine Winstanley (4-2), Desiree Geel (4-2) and Yukie Sakaguchi (5-2). Then in her semifinal against Fallon Sherrock, Suzuki turned a 0-3 deficit into a 5-4 win. Then the two-time women's world champion won 5-4 over Hedman in the final.

Earlier in the tournament, Lorraine Winstanley, Anastasia Dobromyslova, Beau Greaves and Lisa Ashton were all eliminated at the last 32.

If at least 128 players participate, the PDC Women's Series participants will be awarded prizes from the last 64, with fifty pounds for reaching this round. If there are fewer than 128 players, the counter only starts running from the last 32. In that case they do collect one hundred pounds.

This amount eventually keeps increasing. A final place already earns 1,000 pounds anyway. The winner of the tournament receives 2,000 pounds in prize money. The number one of the final ranking gets to compete at the Grand Slam of Darts and the World Darts Championship, while the number two also gets to compete at Alexandra Palace.
