Greaves secures first spot on PDC Women's Series Order of Merit; Suzuki close to return at World Darts Championships

Beau Greaves has secured first place on the PDC Women's Series after the fourth tournament weekend. With eight tournaments remaining, she cannot be caught up.

The 19-year-old Englishwoman was supreme in Milton Keynes over the weekend. Greaves managed to win all four tournaments, so she has already earned £24,300 on the Women's Series this year.

'Beau 'n' Arrow' is already undefeated in six Women's Series tournaments, having triumphed in 11 of 16 tournaments this year. Her supremacy, however, has implications for the continued distribution of top prizes on this circuit. 

The number one of the rankings qualifies for the Grand Slam of Darts and the World Darts Championship, while the number two also receives an invitation to participate at Alexandra Palace.

Because Greaves has already qualified for these two tournaments with her final victory at the Women's World Matchplay, the Grand Slam ticket shifts to the number two. The vacant World Darts Championship starting ticket goes to the number three on the PDC Women's Series Order of Merit.

With Mikuru Suzuki comfortably in second place, with a 4,700-pound margin to number four Rhian O'Sullivan, there is a good chance that the Japanese will return to the World Darts Championship in December. Suzuki previously competed at the 2020 edition at Alexandra Palace. Fallon Sherrock is currently third in the rankings and, due to Greaves' supremacy, may also hope to compete again at the World Darts Championship.
