Beau Greaves Open to Premier League Opportunity as Women’s Darts Star Gears Up for Grand Slam Showdown
Beau Greaves is making waves in the women’s darts landscape. With her recent victory over Luke Littler in the semi-finals of the World Youth Championships, she has garnered significant attention. Littler, at just 16 years old, had already become a prominent figure in darts after his surprising run to the PDC World Darts Championship final in 2023. Greaves, a three-time women’s world champion, is now gearing up for the Grand Slam of Darts, set to air live on Sky Sports.
Potential Premier League Opportunity for Greaves
Following her impressive performances, a significant question has emerged: can Beau Greaves secure a spot in the next season’s Premier League? She recently acquired a PDC Tour Card, which guarantees her a place on the professional circuit for two years starting from the 2026 season. This development has raised speculation about what her future could hold.
Support from Darts Legends
Renowned darts player Raymond van Barneveld has openly backed Greaves for a Premier League opportunity, should she perform well at the World Championships. “I’m so proud of her,” van Barneveld noted. “She beat Luke Littler in the semi-finals and even delivered an impressive 11-dart finish.” His praise illustrates Greaves’ growing prominence in the sport.
World number one Luke Humphries also commended Greaves, asserting that she “belongs in the big-time darts.” Greaves previously gave Humphries a scare at the UK Open, where she led 7-5 before ultimately losing.
Greaves’ Grand Slam Challenge
For the upcoming Grand Slam of Darts, Greaves finds herself in a challenging group. She will compete against elite players such as Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson, and Niko Springer. The tournament is scheduled to begin on November 8, and Greaves’ first match will be against Van Gerwen, a three-time world champion.
A Positive Mental Attitude
Reflecting on her upcoming matches, Greaves expressed a positive outlook. Her approach has shifted from pressure to enjoyment. “I’m just going to go into it with an open mind,” she stated.
