“I think they want me to leave” - Beau Greaves closes on PDC breakthrough that could finally change Women’s Series title race

Beau Greaves is still eligible for the Women’s Series, still enjoying it, and still winning so relentlessly that her climb into the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit may be the only obvious way her stranglehold ends.

Greaves is already building a serious first season as a Tour Card holder, with a ProTour nine-darter, a first PDC ranking title and a live position inside the top 80.

The next landmark would alter her schedule and the wider balance of the women’s game.

No woman has yet made the top-64 cut-off a live storyline in quite this way. For Greaves, getting there would mark another step towards the professional status she wants. For everyone else, it would remove the player who has turned so many Women’s Series weekends into a fight for second best.

Asked about the prospect of reaching the top 64, Greaves said: "That's what I'm aiming for, that spot, and they all support me and all want me to do well, but I think they want me to leave this and do that!"

It was said with a smile, but the line landed because Greaves has become the Women’s Series competition as much as its dominant player. When she turns up, she usually wins. When she does not, that often becomes a bigger talking point than the player who takes the title.

"But that's what I want, I want to be a professional darts player, plough on and play well," she continued. "That's the main goal, just enjoy my darts and end up in that top 64."

Greaves’ dominance has not come with the usual signs of a player mentally checking out. If anything, she continues to sound relaxed in the environment that has helped build her confidence and rhythm.

"I simply get more enjoyment out of the ladies' game. Obviously I know I win a lot, that's not the point. To see some of the girls and stuff is nice but I'm playing a lot and really enjoying it," she said. "Some of the girls have said to me: 'Are you not tired?' No, I'm fresh, and sometimes I've had some poor games but I've done enough to win and that's the main thing."

At the Robin Park Leisure Centre, Greaves took Events 13 and 14 last weekend, to move to 57 PDC Women’s Series titles.

She beat Vicky Pruim 5-0 in the Event 13 final with an 88.41 average, having already beaten Fallon Sherrock 5-2 in the quarter-finals and Jade Gofford 5-3 in the semi-finals. Later in the day, Greaves defeated Karolina Ratajska 5-1 in the Event 14 final, adding another title after a run that included a 100.20 average against Aileen de Graaf in the last four.

"I know we [Ratajska] had a tough game but I'm really happy to win that there," Greaves said.

Her 2026 Women’s Series campaign has not been a total shutout. Lisa Ashton, Deta Hedman, Vicky Pruim and Eleanor Cairns have all won titles, while Sherrock ended Greaves’ long winning streak earlier in the year.

Greaves has still won 11 of the first 16 events in 2026, leaving the rest of the field with isolated breakthroughs rather than a sustained challenge to her control.

A Greaves-free Women’s Series would not need to invent drama. Ashton, Sherrock, Hedman, Pruim, Cairns, Gemma Hayter, Rhian O’Sullivan and others would suddenly be fighting in a title race without the player who has spent years bending it around herself.

For now, Greaves remains both the dominant force in the Women’s Series and one of the most compelling ranking stories on the wider PDC circuit. One more breakthrough would not just change her own schedule. It would change the race she keeps winning.
