"The wheels are in motion," said Dick Allix, chief executive officer of the Professional Darts Championship. "We are looking at creating a separate women's tournament, and it could be in place by next year.
"A vast number of women play, and now we want to show the world who is the best among them."
King, a 36-year-old bookkeeper from Edmonton, made history last week when she became the first woman to play in the world championships, held in Purfleet, England.
She was beaten 3-1 in the first round, but received kudos for her efforts.
"Gayl loved every minute of her time here and stayed to the final, even though she was out," Allix told the Sun.
England's Phil Taylor, who won his ninth world title by blanking John Part of Oshawa, Ont., supports a women's world championship.
"It's fantastic news -- I'm all for it," he told the tabloid. "I practised with Gayl before her match and she was shaking like a leaf.
"But she stood her ground well and put up a fight. More experience like that will only help the women's game."
Some 750,000 British TV viewers watched the Taylor-Part final.
Taylor was such an overwhelming favourite that colourful TV darts commentator Sid Waddell offered to shave his head if the Canadian took two sets off the man known as The Power.
