2020 World Series of Darts
The 2020 World Series of Darts will be a series of televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. In 2020, there were set to be 6 World Series events and one finals event, which has this year been moved from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Salzburg, Austria.
Two new venues were due to make their debuts with New York City replacing Las Vegas for the US Darts Masters[1], and Copenhagen being the venue for the inaugural 2020 Nordic Darts Masters.[2]
The two Australian events were moved to new cities in Wollongong and Townsville.[3]
Fallon Sherrock was set appear at all 6 World Series events as a PDC representative, making her the first woman to participate in any World Series event.[4]
The venue for the German leg is yet to be confirmed.
The US leg was moved to 2021 on 1 April 2020 due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.
On 8 April 2020, all three Oceanic events were also moved to 2021 for the same reason.[5]
