GREAVES BACKED TO CAUSE RIVALS PROBLEMS

BEAU GREAVES has been tipped to “cause problems” on the Pro Tour after getting her PDC Tour Card.

‘Beau ‘n’ Arrow’ finished second on the Development Tour this season to secure a Tour Card for the next two years, just the second woman – after Lisa Ashton – to ever do so on merit, having won three times on the circuit during 2025.

Doncaster thrower Greaves produced superb numbers at the Grand Slam, averaging over 100 in her group stage matches, but slipped to narrow 5-4 defeats against Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson.

Sky Sports pundit Abigail Davies believes Greaves will pick up a title on the Pro Tour next season.

She said on the Love the Darts Podcast: “She has timed everything in her career up to this point impeccably well.

“I have been one of those people who have said ‘Please do this, be in this tournament’, because selfishly I want to see her play as much as possible because she uses the board well, she’s got that silky smooth action.

“When she gets that Tour Card, my goodness is she going to cause problems in Players Championship events.

“I see her winning at least one title on the Pro Tour, I genuinely think she’s that good and I don’t think she’ll have any danger retaining her tour card after two years.”

Co-host Chris Murphy agrees and believes Greaves has the ability to feature in the Premier League.

He added: “I said the same last time I was here when she got a Tour Card confirmed. I think Beau Greaves will be in the Premier League but just not yet.

“I agree with Abbi that she’ll win titles and I think this time next year we’ll be having a much more serious discussion about that prospect.”

Women’s world No1 Greaves is now on course to capture the World Youth Championship title after a sensational 6-5 semi-final victory over Luke Littler.

Greaves will take on Gian van Veen in the final at Butlin’s Minehead resort this Sunday.
