England’s Beau Greaves has made one of the biggest decisions of her career. She will compete at the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace in London, choosing not to defend her Lakeside World Championship title under the WDF banner. Many see this as the natural next step for a player who has already proven she belongs among the world’s elite.

Over the past few years, Greaves has transformed from a teenage prodigy into an established star. She already holds three consecutive Lakeside titles, more than 40 wins on the PDC Women’s Series, and several remarkable records.

In 2025, she took huge strides on the men’s circuit, beating seasoned professionals in Players Championship events and averaging over 107 in several matches. She finished second on the Development Tour Order of Merit, earning a coveted PDC Tour Card for the next two seasons.

She also made history by becoming the first woman ever to reach the final of the PDC Youth Championship, after defeating Luke Littler in the semifinals with a 105+ average. She’ll face Gian van Veen in the final on November 23, 2025.

After discussions with her management team, Greaves opted for the PDC path — described by her camp as “the most logical decision” for her career growth and ambitions.

Her move follows rule changes that prevent players from competing in both PDC and WDF World Championships in the same season, freeing her to focus on PDC competition fully.

Greaves’ choice is widely regarded as a significant step forward for gender equality in darts. She follows in the footsteps of Lisa Ashton and Fallon Sherrock, but does so in an era of tougher competition and higher expectations.

With her Tour Card secured and her spot at the World Championship confirmed, Beau Greaves now faces the biggest challenge of her career — proving she’s not just the best female dart player in the world, but one of the best, full stop.
