A field of 24 ladies will compete for the women's world title at
Lakeside from Dec. 2 through Dec. 10. Top favourite is
Beau Greaves, who won the tournament last year with relative ease.
The 19-year-old Englishwoman faces competition this year from the likes of
Aileen de Graaf,
Lisa Ashton and
Deta Hedman. Top players Fallon Sherrock and Mikuru Suzuki are missing. They will compete in the PDC World Darts Championship later in December. Greaves had also qualified for that tournament, but chose to play at
Lakeside.
Other well-known players competing include
Rhian O'Sullivan,
Lorraine Winstanley and
Laura Turner, who were also regulars at the PDC Women's Series last season.
