Sherrock set for World Series debut at US Darts Masters after history making win over Evetts

Sherrock created history as the first female player to win a match at the PDC World Championship on Tuesday night and after the win created traction both at home and abroad, the PDC have now taken the decision to take the History Maker to Madison Square Garden.

The Milton Keynes ace will now join the likes of Michael van Gerwen in competing in the event and Barry Hearn, PDC Chairman admitted that they had to strike while the iron is hot and give her an opportunity of a lifetime.

"We live in a big world and Fallon's victory has become mainstream news, rather than sports news," said Hearn. "It's astonished me.

"The first woman to do something is always news because it's a breakthrough moment for the sport. You couldn't write that type of drama. I think it is a game-changing moment.

"Fallon will get the dream ticket in terms of an invitation to the World Series of Darts in the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York.

"That's going to be massive news around the world, particularly in America, and the message is clear to other women; if you're good enough, opportunities exist or will be created.

"She's going to have dream scenario there and who knows where it builds from there."
