Women's World Matchplay 2024 prize money breakdown: £25,000 on offer in total

For the third year in a row, the PDC is also hosting a Women's World Matchplay in 2024. The third edition of the Women's World Matchplay will take place the afternoon of Sunday, July 21, at the Winter Gardens. This tournament will feature £25,000 in prize money.

The field of participants for the Women's World Matchplay consists of eight players. The eight best players at the Women's Series over the past 12 months have been invited. Because Aileen de Graaf had opted out due to a pre planned holiday, the number nine on the Order of Merit has advanced to the lineup.

"I wouldn't be surprised if any of them won it" says Matthew Edgar on Women's World Matchplay albeit with one overwhelming favourite

The top favourite at the Women's World Matchplay is Beau Greaves, also the defending champion at the Winter Gardens. She will face Katie Sheldon, De Graaf's replacement, in the first round. This year's competition is bigger than ever. Because where the battle in the past was mainly between Greaves, Fallon Sherrock and also Lisa Ashton, Noa-Lynn van Leuven who has also nestled herself at the top of women's darts. The Dutchwoman will face off with two-time women's world champion Mikuru Suzuki. The winner of that match will play against Greaves of Sheldon in the semifinals.

Sherrock faces a debutant, but certainly no stranger. Her opponent will be Anastasia Dobromyslova, who became women's world champion in 2008, 2012 and 2013. Dobromyslova is currently not seen much on the women's circuit because she has been suspended from the WDF due to her Russian passport. At the PDC, however, she is allowed to be in action under a neutral flag. In the final quarterfinals, Ashton and Rhian O'Sullivan will face each other. The semifinals and final will be played later in the afternoon.

The eight contestants are all assured of £1,250 of prize money. A win in their first match doubles that amount to £2,500. A final place already earns at least £5,000, while the winner of the Women's World Matchplay 2024 will go home with the top prize of £10,000 in prize money. The prize money won does not count toward the Women's Series Order of Merit, by the way.
