Beau Greaves still sits as the incumbent WDF World No.1 in the latest WDF Ranking Update on the women's side after she defended her Lakeside victory points by winning the title for a third time.

Greaves has changed her tact slightly at least for now and presumably will be playing the Dutch Open Darts starting on 30 January and running until February 2 where she also defends the title. She has aimed towards the PDC more and likely will put the WDF slightly aside for now.
She is top of the Challenge Tour Order of Merit and will be in to likely play the ProTour at least for half the season and the other opportunities that come with topping the secondary tour. But given she is far ahead and already is qualified for Lakeside already multiple times, it matters little at this juncture.

Deta Hedman added 180 points from winning the title having already clinched her spot at Lakeside. She sits behind Rhian O'Sullivan who she defeated in the final. The Welshwoman is second with 810 points but is well behind Beau Greaves.
She added 110 points in being defeated by Hedman while Lerena Rietbergen and Nicole Regnaud sit just behind the legendary darting star in fourth and fifth.
Lorraine Hyde is like Greaves and Hedman in being already qualified for 2025 Lakeside and she sits in sixth ahead of Aileen de Graaf.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
