No. Both men and women can play at the PDC World Championship.
Players qualify via the 'Order of Merit' - the official rankings,, external which are calculated based on the amount of prize money won over a two-year period in ranking tournaments.
There is a separate men's and women's Order of Merit. The top two players from the Women's Series Order of Merit qualify for the PDC World Championship.
For the 2024/25 tournament, Beau Greaves topped the women's Order of Merit. However, Greaves chose to play in the WDF Women's World Championship instead, looking to defend her title.
Players that take part in the WDF Championship are then ineligible to play in the PDC World Championship.
Three-time WDF champion Beau Greaves has called it "stupid" that women are not able to play in both, and has called for a separate PDC World Championship for women.
The PDC did not respond to our request for comment.
That meant Noa-Lynn van Leuven and Fallon Sherrock, ranked second and third respectively, qualified.
Fallon Sherrock made history in 2019 when she became the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship.
The Netherlands' Van Leuven was the first transgender player to compete at the tournament.
