Noa-Lynn van Leuven qualifies for PDC World Championship after Women’s Series 21 victory

Noa-Lynn van Leuven has become the first transgender woman to qualify for the PDC World Darts Championship after beating Beau Greaves in the final of Women’s Series Event 21 in Leicester.

The 28-year-old from the Netherlands threw a 109.64 average in her 5-3 win over Greaves to secure her place at Alexandra Palace in December.

It was a fourth Women’s Series event win of 2024 for Van Leuven, while Greaves beat Sherrock 5-1 in the Event 22 final later on Saturday for her eighth Women’s Series title of the year.

With only two events remaining, both to be played on Sunday, Van Leuven is guaranteed to take one of the two World Championship qualifying spots available from the Women’s Series Order of Merit.

That list is currently led by England’s Greaves, 20, who said after her Women’s World Matchplay success in July that she did not intend to take her place at the World Championship and would instead try to defend her WDF Women’s World Championship title.

Sherrock is currently in the second qualification spot, with Japan’s Mikuru Suzuki and England’s Lisa Ashton the only players able to catch her.

Sherrock will also need to win both Women’s Series events on Sunday to deny Van Leuven a place alongside Greaves at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton next month.
