Beau Greaves to Thrive with PDC Tour Card; Sherrock Returns to World Championship

Beau Greaves is poised to make a significant impact on the PDC Pro Tour after securing a Tour Card via the Development Tour. This achievement makes her only the second woman to earn a PDC Tour Card based on merit, following a remarkable run that saw her finish as runner-up in the Development Tour rankings and claim three event victories.
Beau Greaves’ Historic Achievement
The 21-year-old has guaranteed her place on the professional darts circuit for two years starting with the 2026 season. She is the first female to achieve this feat since Lisa Ashton earned her card in 2020. Expectations are high for Greaves, as she is also set to participate in the upcoming PDC World Championship this December.
Impact of Tour Card on Career
Accepting the PDC Tour Card will prevent Greaves from defending her title at the World Darts Federation (WDF) Women’s World Championship, which she has won for three consecutive years. Sky Sports has reported that Greaves is anticipated to opt for the PDC Tour Card, despite her past success in the WDF.
- Age: 21
- Titles: 3-time WDF Women’s World Champion
- First Tour Card Earned: 2026/27
- Previous Title Holder: Lisa Ashton (2020)
Endorsements and Expectations
Luke Humphries, the current World No. 1, has expressed confidence in Greaves’ abilities on the PDC Pro Tour, stating, “I think she’s an amazing player and she deserves it.” He believes that Greaves will excel if she plays without pressure and predicts she could easily break into the top 64 players within two years.
Greaves has consistently shown her skill on secondary tours, where she has been competitive and has even put pressure on top male players like Humphries during events. Her recent performances indicate she is more than capable of holding her own on bigger stages.
Current Performance and Future Prospects
In 2025, Greaves has dominated the Women’s Series, achieving a remarkable 58-match winning streak and winning every one-day event during this period. She also performed impressively at the UK Open, reaching the fourth round and nearly winning against Luke Humphries.
Her strong completion in the Development Tour has already ensured her participation in the PDC World Championship. This will mark a notable return to the Alexandra Palace, where she hopes to prove her mettle on the world stage.
Fallon Sherrock’s Upcoming Challenge
Fallon Sherrock, another prominent female player, has officially qualified for her sixth World Championship appearance, securing her spot through her ranking in the Women’s Series. Known as the “Queen of the Palace,” Sherrock made history with her performance in the 2020 World Championship and continues to be a key figure in female darts.

With Beau Greaves and Fallon Sherrock poised to compete, the upcoming championship season promises to be exciting for darts enthusiasts. El-Balad will continue to provide updates on their performances and the evolving landscape of professional darts.
