PDC Chairman Eddie Hearn on Sherrock Premier League chances: "You cannot ignore the profile and the noise it creates for darts"

"It all depends on the participation numbers and also the quality. Broadcasters and fans will want to watch - it can't be a gimmick," Hearn told Sky Sports. "It has to be of a high level.

"The way you produce that level is to provide a consistent schedule to help people improve, grow and develop. I think a World Championship as a stand-alone event will work hand-in-hand.
