"No probably not and I don't see why I'd want to" - Beau Greaves unlikely to attempt Q-School in 2024
PDC
Beau Greaves was a relatively dominant winner of the 2023 PDC Women's Series and took the Women's World Matchplay in Blackpool earlier this summer. This success has seen many call for her to try Q-School next January, however Greaves is keen to take her time.
As seen by Greaves decision to turn down the PDC World Darts Championship, instead opting to play at Lakeside in women's World Championship, 'Beau n Arrow' is looking to not rush her possible entrance to the PDC Pro Tour and regular competition against the men.
"No probably not and I don't see why I'd want to," Greaves answers when asked about the potential of Q-School by Darts Now. "I'm good enough to get a through Q-School, I know that. But the pro tours are a different game. The standard on there is hard and I think that's the difference to the Ladies, the standard is not always up to scratch. It's not always great and you do get them poor games, myself included."
"You can't be doing that on the Pro Tour, and I think it'd sort of crucify me in a bad way," Greaves analyses. "So I think for now, I'll just stick to what I'm playing and maybe at some point in the future."
Playing the men will improve her, beating opponents under no pressure will not. Ladies darts wants more money and TV time, to get this you need to take it from the men's game and with the attendances and quality of darts this is not going to happen.
Good girl, Proud of you. One in tbe eye for webster for a start and another "up yours" to the PDC. (Will not bother the manipulating Porter however!) Nice to know THIS lady has an old head on young shoulders. Good luck toher in the future.
Agreed! Miss Greaves will go down as the greatest female player - by far when her career is done. I have lost what little respect I had for the PDC in a matter of months.
There’s an awfully long way to go when your still only 19, who knows how long her career will last. Also who knows how long the WDF will survive. Should it go down the pan where does a womens only side of the game go?
i'm not sure why people keep framing this like beau has chosen the WDF permanently and is in danger of sinking along with the ship. she's literally playing in the grand slam in a few weeks and will be back on the PDC women's tour when it gets going again, she hasn't defected to the enemy. she will have the same decision to make again in 12 months time, and 24 months, and so on. personally i suspect that if she doesn't budge, the PDC probably eventually will.

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
- actually, since you're asking... yes. yes i do.colt06-03-2025
