Two places in the 2020/21 PDC World Championship will be on offer based on prize money won across the four events; which will be held on October 17-18 in Cannock.

It is the PDC's first foray back into a tour for Women's Darts; after the success of Fallon Sherrock with her ground-breaking run at the PDC World Championship dubbing her The Queen of the Palace.

Lisa Ashton also became the first PDC Tour Card holder through Q-School; there have also been success stories for the likes of Anastasia Dobromyslova and Mikuru Suzuki as of late.

It will replace the previous World Championship qualifying tournaments; which have been staged over the past two years.

Ahead of these four events as well there will be a separate free to enter Grand Slam of Darts Qualifier; which will be staged on Friday October 16; offering one place in November's tournament.

Entry to the Women's Series itself will cost £25 per player per event; with tournaments open to all female players aged 16 and above.

"Women's darts at the top level has never enjoyed as high a profile and this is an important development," said PDC Chief Executive Matthew Porter.

"This year has seen sport worldwide affected by the coronavirus pandemic and it is hugely encouraging at a time when other sports are seeing opportunities for women reduced that we are able to bring in the PDC Women's Series and create a place in the 2020 Grand Slam of Darts.

"We are also retaining two places in the William Hill World Darts Championship for female players; giving them the opportunity to take part in our sport's biggest tournament once again; after the historic achievements of Fallon Sherrock last December."
