Beau Greaves refused a spot in the 2024 World Championships to defend her WDF Women’s World Championship title.
Beau Greaves has been a force on the Women’s Tour in 2024, winning the Women’s World Matchplay and eight Women’s Series titles.
Greaves is gearing up to return to the Grand Slam of Darts in November after she defeated Ricardo Pietreczko at the tournament last year, but she’s revealed why she doesn’t enjoy playing on the men’s tour.
Beau Greaves struggles with the men’s consistency
Greaves has revealed the biggest difference between the men’s and women’s tours is the consistency of top-quality darts.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Greaves said: “People know I’m not keen on playing the lads on telly but it’s a good opportunity for me.
“I had a decent year there last year so hopefully I can get comfortable on the stage. It’s difficult for me to play but I look forward to it. I’ll practice well for it and see how it goes.”
“I just don’t feel as if I can win it. People say I’m stubborn, people say whatever they want, but I know how good I can be and what I’m like most of the time.
“It’s about that consistency and most of the ladies don’t have the consistency to compete with the men.”
The Grand Slam of Darts begins in Wolverhampton on November 9.
Beau Greaves declines World Championship spot
Greaves has revealed the reason she’s turned down a slot at the biggest event in darts at Alexandra Palace.
The 20-year-old wants to focus on retaining her WDF World Darts Championship for the third time in a row.
Greaves told Sky Sports: “I have won the ladies’ World Championship back to back now and I don’t want to miss out on the chance of retaining that title so that is all it comes down to.
“Hopefully, I can go back to Ally Pally in years to come but right now I want to focus on ladies’ darts”
The tournament takes place at the start of December.
