OFFICIAL: Beau Greaves opts for PDC World Darts Championship over Lakeside - "The decision that made the most sense"

Beau Greaves' return to the PDC World Darts Championship at the Alexandra Palace in London later this year has now been officially confirmed. The 21-year-old Englishwoman, long regarded as the best female darter on the planet, confirmed her participation through her management firm Opus Sports.

Greaves made history again this season by becoming the second woman ever to earn a PDC Tour Card on sporting merit, following in the footsteps of trailblazer Lisa Ashton. 'Beau n Arrow' finished runner-up on the Development Tour Order of Merit for 2025, securing her direct entry to the professional circuit via this route.

The young Englishwoman continues to amaze the darts world with her achievements. At the World Youth Championship, Greaves showed her exceptional class by beating Luke Littler 6-5 in the semifinals with an average of 105.

Also at the UK Open earlier this year, Greaves proved herself against the very best the PDC has to offer: there she reached the fourth round in Minehead, before falling to a brave defeat against world number one Luke Humphries after pushing the former world champion hard.

In a statement, her management Opus Sports expressed pride in their pupil's move. "After securing her tour card for 2026/2027, and after much speculation, we are excited to officially announce that Beau will be competing in the PDC World Championship 2025/26. After an incredible year on the various PDC circuit’s, and with next year becoming a huge one ahead, it was the decision that made the most sense for Beau & one that is fully supported by all of us at Opus. We cannot wait to see her back on the famous Ally Pally stage

Greaves has long dominated the women's circuit. She has since won 42 Women's Series titles and twice crowned champion at the Women's World Matchplay. On top of that, she also has three WDF Women's World Championship titles to her name.
