Race to 2025 Women's WDF World Championship Update: Beau Greaves, Deta Hedman and Rhian O'Sullivan set for Lakeside
WDF
The race to the WDF World Championship which will take place between Friday 28 November - Sunday 7 December 2025 continues as we reach a crucial juncture in the WDF season.
With five months of the new season gone, there are already 10 out of the 84 players set over the men's and women's draws with the latter being first to be focused on. Currently Lerena Rietbergen will lead as the top seed later this year and is one of only two players in the top eight not to qualify due to a tournament win.
Deta Hedman is second having won the Las Vegas Open earlier this year defeating Rhian O'Sullivan who ironically then added her name to the hat later in the month by winning the Dutch Open and is current third seed.
Lorraine Hyde is one of the longest standing players to be qualified. She won the Irish Open all the way back in 2024 to seal one of the first spots even prior to Beau Greaves next who is fifth as the 2024 World Championship. Tracy Feiertag is sixth alongside Jitka Cisarova as current leaders in the US and East Europe Ranking tables.
Sophie McKinlay is the only other player alongside Rietbergen in the top eight to qualify by right without a tournament win to confirm it. Gold/Platinum Event Winners will also get in who are Joanne Hadley currently for winning the 2025 South Australian Classic. She also gets in through Australia's ranking table.
Denmark Open, Toronto Area Open, New Zealand Open and Korean Open also gleam a spot. While Sarah Makanga (Africa and Western Asia), Pei-Ying Liao (Asia), Maria Carli (Canada) and Nicole Regnaud (New Zealand) lead ranking tables for current qualification meaning we could get a slew of debutants Regnaud aside in December.
A North Europe number one will qualify as will two further qualifiers. Paula Jacklin, Irina Armstrong, Paula Murphy and Aileen de Graaf lead the top four in the race of those not currently qualified too.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
