Beau Greaves to play in PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace

Beau Greaves will play in the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace later this year.

, averaging 105 to beat world champion Luke Littler in an epic last-leg decider in the semi-finals.

The Professional Darts Corporation confirmed Greaves has accepted a place at the World Championship, as well as a tour card for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

A statement released by Greaves' management company, Opus Sports Management, said: "After securing her tour card for 2026/2027, and after much speculation, we are excited to officially announce that Beau will be competing in the PDC World Championship 2025/26.

"After an incredible year on the various PDC circuits, and with next year becoming a huge one ahead, it was the decision that made the most sense for Beau & one that is fully supported by all of us at Opus.

"We cannot wait to see her back on the famous Ally Pally stage."

The 21-year-old became just the second woman to earn a PDC Tour Card on merit, having finished runner-up in the Development Tour rankings after winning three times during an impressive campaign.

Greaves has now guaranteed her place on the professional circuit for two years from the start of the 2026 season, the first woman to do so since Lisa Ashton came through Q School to earn her card in 2020.

Greaves and Littler could meet again at the Grand Slam of Darts, which Greaves has qualified for by topping the PDC Women's Series Order of Merit this year.

Littler took to social media to congratulate Greaves on her win in the World Youth Championship. Writing on his Instagram story, Littler said: "I had two 10-dart legs, missed double 12 for a nine and still couldn't win. Fair play to Beau. All the best in Minehead. Some talent."

"I think she's an amazing player and she deserves it," Humphries said at the World Grand Prix. "I predict that she'll flourish playing in it [PDC ProTour].

"She's been a really great player on the secondary tours this year. She's good on the challenge tour, good on the development tour and she'll be a real threat going forward for all the players. Not just for me but for everyone.

"I think she'll do really well. If she's relaxed and she's got no pressure on her shoulders yes, I believe she will be top 64 within the two years for sure."

Greaves has previously expressed interest in a Tour Card, stating it would be "stupid" not to take one if offered, with the Englishwoman previously falling short in her attempts to earn one via Q-School in January.

Her sister Bobbi appeared to hint that Greaves will take up the Tour Card after the final two Development Tour events of the season, writing on social media platform X: "My girl is now officially a tour card holder."

The top three available players in the Women's Series rankings automatically qualify for the World Championship, with Greaves' Development Tour finish and Lisa Ashton's Women's World Matchplay win already securing their spots for Alexandra Palace.

Fallon Sherrock sits second in the Order of Merit between those two and has now officially confirmed a sixth World Championship appearance, with the 31-year-old unable to drop out of the three qualification spots during the final four Women's Series events.

She earned the nickname "Queen of the Palace" for her historic run to the third round in 2020, where she became the first female to win a match at the event, although has suffered first-round exits in each of the past four years.

The other two spots via the Women's Series Order of Merit will be confirmed after their four remaining events on October 18 and 19, with Noa-Lynn van Leuven and Gemma Hayter currently occupying those places.

The next TV major live on SportNews is the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton from November 8-16, before the World Darts Championship runs from December 11-January 3 at the Alexandra Palace.
