With eight of the twenty-four PDC Women's Series events now completed, Beau Greaves remains a clear leader at the top of the Order of Merit although the battle for the positions behind is really hotting up.

Whilst Greaves has been nothing short of utterly dominant on the Women's Series since winning her first title in 2022, this weekend saw four different winners from the four different events. Greaves was again victorious in event 5, taking her fourth title of the year. On Saturday evening however, the 19-year-old was defeated in the final of event 6 by Welshwoman Rhian O'Sullivan, who claimed her first PDC title.
On Sunday, Greaves again was denied the chance to add another title to her collection. Firstly in event 7, Robyn Byrne claimed her first career title on the PDC Women's Series, beating Sky Sports Darts pundit Laura Turner in the final. Then on the second event of Sunday's action, event 8 of the season, Japanese ace Mikuru Suzuki prevailed to take her second win of the year.
Greaves still leads the way with £10,100, Suzuki, O'Sullivan and Byrne are in 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively in the Order of Merit and the big names of Fallon Sherrock and Lisa Ashton are both in the top 8 with an eye towards qualification to the Women's World Matchplay.
At the end of the season, the two highest-ranked players are granted participation in the Grand Slam of Darts and the World Darts Championship. In addition, the top eight in the ranking after twelve tournaments will receive an invitation to the Women's World Matchplay.
