Beau Greaves has made history by becoming the second woman ever to earn a PDC Tour Card on merit. This achievement secures her place in professional darts from the start of the 2026 season. The accomplished player obtained her Tour Card through the PDC Development Tour, cementing her status in the sport.
Historic Achievement in Darts
Greaves’ accomplishment comes after she maintained a top-two position in the rankings. As of now, she is second, trailing Cam Crabtree, who has also confirmed his Tour Card. Lisa Ashton holds the distinction of being the first woman to earn a PDC Tour Card, achieving this milestone in 2020 through Q School.
Decision Ahead for Greaves
Despite her impressive achievement, Greaves faces a significant decision. Accepting the Tour Card would mean she cannot compete in WDF events, including the Women’s World Championship, a tournament she has dominated by winning for three consecutive years. Greaves has expressed deep appreciation for the WDF Women’s World Championship and has previously declined opportunities to compete in the PDC World Championship.
Her sister, Bobbi, hinted on social media that Greaves is likely to accept the Tour Card, stating, “My girl is now officially a tour card holder.”
Luke Humphries’ Support for Greaves
Luke Humphries, the world number one in darts, has voiced strong support for Greaves. Following his semi-final win at the BOYLESports World Grand Prix, Humphries praised her talent and predicted a bright future. He stated, “I’m quite proud of her. I think she’s an amazing player and she deserves it.”
Humphries believes Greaves will thrive in the professional circuit, emphasizing her lack of pressure, which can help her perform better. “I think she’ll do really well,” he added, highlighting her potential as a formidable competitor.
Future Prospects and Caution
Humphries expressed confidence that Greaves could break into the sport’s elite during her two-year Tour Card tenure. He predicts she could secure a top-64 ranking if she remains relaxed and focused. However, he also cautioned against excessive media scrutiny, which could place undue pressure on the young player. “It’s important that the media don’t put pressure on her,” he stated. “She needs space to do well.”
With her Tour Card in hand and a crucial decision looming, Greaves stands on the brink of a defining chapter in her career. Supported by Humphries and many in the darting community, her journey in professional darts continues to unfold with great promise.
