Female darts star who snubbed World Championship says ‘ladies not good enough to play men’
Darts star Beau Greaves has revealed that she does not believe that female players ‘are good enough’ to compete against the men. The 20-year-old decided to compete in the WDF Women’s World Championship last year rather than heading to Alexandra Palace, and she managed to retain her crown at Lakeside.
Greaves has asserted herself as one of the best female players to ever take to the stage over the past few years, having declined an offer to play in the PDC World Darts Championship in favour of pushing for back-to-back championships.
The Doncaster-born star made a mockery of her competition at Lakeside, whitewashing Lorraine Hyde, Paula Murphy and Rhian O’Sullivan en route to the final. Greaves then secured a 4-1 win over Aileen de Graaf to retain her crown, prompting conversations about how she would fare up against male competitors this year.
Greaves made her PDC debut in 2022 but was unable to secure a win at the competition, being beaten by William O’Connor in the first round. Asked whether she is tempted to return to Ally Pally, Greaves told Darts News: “I don’t know. It’s a hard one.
“I love playing ladies darts and I’m big on ladies darts. I don’t think the ladies are good enough to play the men, I’ve said it before. I don’t really mind but it’s one of them. It’s just weighing up your options and seeing what’s best.
