"She's an amazing advert for Women's Darts" - Lorraine Winstanley backs Beau Greaves to create lasting legacy in the PDC
PDC
Beau Greaves has kicked off the 2025 season in spectacular fashion. The 21-year-old English star currently leads the way in the Challenge Tour, Development Tour, and Women's Series, showcasing her dominance across multiple circuits. Earlier this month, she impressed on the big stage at the UK Open, reaching the fourth round and pushing world number one Luke Humphries to the limit in a thrilling contest.
The brilliance of Greaves' recent performances has not escaped Lorraine Winstanley, herself a former finalist at the BDO Women's World Championship at the iconic Lakeside Country Club, either. "She just continues to impress me all the time. You know, for a lot of people, Beau burst onto the scene just a few years ago. But she's been playing a long time, from being about 12," Winstanley tells Tungsten Tales.

"She just has the most amazing composure and resilience, and it takes real grit to get up and do what she does. She never looks phased. I just think she's an amazing advert for Women's Darts," Winstanley continues, expressing her belief that Greaves' lasting legacy will surpass that of her contemporarys. "Nobody can take away what the women have done previously. You know, Fallon Sherrock an amazing job with what she did in the World Championships. Lisa Ashton obviously, being the first woman to win the Tour Card. But Beau is the one in my eyes that is going to take it to the next level."
Because of her strong performances on the Challenge Tour in early 2025, Greaves has already made her Pro Tour debut, stepping in as a replacement. The women's world champion has performed admirably against the best the PDC has to offer too, winning games a showcasing her ability to compete. "She's the whole package, she really is,' concludes Winstanley with warmth. "What a talent."

- 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

- Aspinall was a no-show: Carl Sneyd steps in from the Challenge Tour.Scoobedybop11-03-2025
- 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
