Heading over to Wigan tomorrow to play the world youth tournament after winning the professional darts grand prix tournament

[TopCat]

He won’t win it.

[Falcon]

I'd say he is the favourite. Has had an average of 97.88 in the group stage.

Van Veen (98.41) and Greaves (97.00) are throwing good averages too though.

[burnmark]

What an upset!

[Commy]

She is a good player.

Great player is Beau, she is set to take a PDC tour card for 2026.

[Falcon]

The only thing stopping her is herself. She's said previously she doesn't particularly like playing with the men, but she has the talent to beat any of the blokes on her day.

[AlargeClaret]

She’s can be very good indeed and I think she’ll shake up the PDC next year . Be good to have an actual woman genuinely going “Mano o Mano “ on equal terms with the blokes .

Though Littler’s overall cavalier darts in this tourney very much strikes me ( and understandably so) as a well paid publicity based thing .

[jdrobbo]

Greaves is easily a top sixteen player (I suspect higher). I’d love her to play more mixed tournaments

There is 1 or 2 of the PL Darts players who you could quite happily swap out for Beau, although it has to follow the order of merit etc unless they decide to introduce wildcards etc.... so it may be a while off. Be good to see her on the tour though and go from there.

[Falcon]

Imagine putting her in the PL and the pressure getting to her, causing her to bomb it every week. Would ruin her self-confidence.

Better to let her play her way into it now she has a tour card. Keep winning events and move your ranking, featuring in TV tournaments to get more experience of them, and then give her a PL spot on merit not just because girl.

I thought the picture was a man until I read the description.
