Will Beau Greaves Step Away From the PDC Women's Series? She Says Her Focus Is Now on Securing a Tour Card

Beau Greaves, the 22‑year‑old darts prodigy who has dominated the PDC Women’s Series for several seasons, recently opened up about her feelings after the 2025 edition of the competition. The Doncaster‑born player, often nicknamed "Beau 'n Arrow," described herself as "deflated" and suggested that she sensed a collective desire for her to lose.

Despite that emotional dip, Greaves still managed to claim her third Women’s World Matchplay crown in four years, edging out veteran Fallon Sherrock 6‑5 in a nail‑biting final held in Blackpool. Greaves began her title run with a comfortable 5‑1 victory over Finland’s Kirsi Viinikainen, then survived a tight encounter against Gemma Hayter before reaching the championship match.

The final turned into a classic showdown: Sherrock, known as "The Queen of the Palace," took two consecutive legs to bring the score level at 5‑5, forcing a sudden‑death leg. Both players hit maximum 180s, but Greaves sealed the win with a decisive 56 checkout, adding another trophy to her growing collection. In total, Greaves now holds a record 57 PDC Women’s Series titles, a feat that underscores her status as the most successful female player in the modern era.

Yet, when asked about her future, she admitted that balancing the women’s circuit with the men’s Pro Tour presents a unique set of challenges. "It’s tough, really," she said. "I’ve tried to concentrate on the men’s side, on getting my Tour Card. After the last Women’s Series I felt a bit deflated." Greaves explained that the women’s events can start to feel repetitive once a player reaches the summit.

"When you’re constantly aiming for the same target, there’s not much else to chase," she noted. "After the last tournament I thought, ‘Maybe I should focus on the Pro Tour and the Euro Tour I’ve qualified for, and work on improving my ranking.’" Her ambition is clear: Greaves wants to transition from being the dominant force in the women’s game to becoming a competitive presence on the men’s circuit. She emphasized that while she still loves the women’s side of darts, her primary goal now is to test herself against the best male players and embrace the challenges that come with that level of competition.

The young star also reflected on the mental side of the sport. "I love darts, but now it’s my job," she said.

"I can’t get enough of it, and supporting the ladies’ game is important to me. However, I know my stage performance needs work. I win a lot on the floor, but I have to raise my game when I’m under the spotlight." Greaves’ recent triumph at the Winter Gardens not only added another title to her résumé but also secured her spots in two of darts’ most prestigious events: the 2026 Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts and the 2027 Paddy Power World Darts Championship. She had already featured in both tournaments the previous year, proving that she can hold her own on the biggest stages.

When discussing her progress on the Pro Tour, Greaves was candid about the hurdles she faces. "Winning a Pro Tour event boosted my ranking, but staying consistent is hard," she admitted. "I’ve reached quarter‑finals and semi‑finals, but the competition is fierce. I enjoy the challenge of qualifying for major tournaments, and I want to keep improving until I can truly compete with the men." She also touched on self‑doubt, a common obstacle for many athletes.

"Sometimes I doubt myself too much, and that can hold me back," Greaves confessed. "I need to believe in myself more and keep my focus on the work ahead.

The Pro Tour and the upcoming Euro Tour events excite me, even though they’re tough. They push me to become a better player." Greaves’ list of achievements continues to grow: three Women’s World Matchplay titles (2023, 2024, 2026), a Players Championship victory in 2026, two Challenge Tour wins in 2025, four Development Tour titles across 2024‑25, and a staggering 57 Women’s Series wins spanning 2022‑2026. All of this at just 22 years of age. She also sent a clear message to her competitors, stating that she never surprises herself and believes she can beat anyone on her day.

"I can be very consistent, but inconsistency is still a part of my game," she said. "When I’m in form, I can beat anybody, but I need to work on maintaining that level more regularly." Sherrock, who lost the final in a last‑leg decider for the second year running, praised Greaves’ performance.

"If someone had told me I’d reach the final, I would have bitten their hand off," she remarked. "Beau deserved to win; she was the better player.

I hope this final kick‑starts my season, and I’ll aim for the World Championship." Looking ahead, darts fans can anticipate Greaves’ continued presence on the sport’s biggest platforms. The BoyleSports World Grand Prix will be broadcast live on Sky Sports from 28 September to 4 October at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester, and viewers can stream the action via NOW.

As Greaves balances her love for the women’s game with a determined focus on the men’s Pro Tour, the next chapter of her career promises to be as compelling as her rapid rise so far.
