How does Beau Greaves compare to overall winners of Challenge Tour thus far?

The 2025 PDC Challenge Tour got underway last weekend, with the first 5 events of the PDC's second-tier tour being played out. The story of the opening weekend was undoubtedly the brilliant Beau Greaves, who took a duo of title wins.

Over the course of the first five events, the three-time women's world champion banked a grand total of £5,150 for her efforts. As such, Greaves unsurprisingly leads the way in the Challenge Tour Order of Merit and is poised to make a PDC Pro Tour debut if and when any dropouts are announced for the upcoming Players Championship tournaments. 

The truth is though, that Greaves' performances over the first weekend of the 2025 Challenge Tour not only see her standing atop the current field with her earnings, but also clear at the top of the list of highest earners of eventual Challenge Tour winners over the first 5 events since all the way back in 2017. As shown by online darting stats experts, Premium Dart Data, no Challenge Tour winner has managed to accumulate more prize money over the first five events of a Challenge Tour season than Greaves over the past nine editions.

The nearest challenger to Greaves comes from Canada's Matt Campbell, who made a rampant start to the 2021 Challenge Tour, earning £4,250. Last year, Connor Scutt was the Challenge Tour victor, but even 'The Sniper's earnings couldn't come close to Greaves, with Scutt taking home £1,100 for his efforts. 

Well known layers such as Berry van Peer, Scott Williams and Callan Rydz have all come through the Challenge Tour over the years but again, even these established names cannot match the success of the women's world champion in 2025.

The question now, is can Greaves keep this up for the rest of the year? As mentioned, the 21-year-old is now likely to get Pro Tour callups for the coming events and with PDC Tour Cards on offer for the Challenge Tours biggest earners at the end of the year, 'Beau n Arrow' could secure her permanent spot amongst the darting elite without the drama of another trip to Q-School.
