According to a Daily Mail - Sport report, Beau Greaves made history on Monday night by becoming the first woman to win a men's PDC ranking event, defeating three former world champions. The report details her victories over Rob Cross (6-5 in the quarter-final), Gary Anderson (7-1 in the semi-final), and Michael Smith (8-7 in the final), clinching the title with a 142 checkout. According to the same source, Greaves broke down in tears during the post-match interview, expressing that she was proud and surprised by the win and hoped to build on the achievement.
In July 2024, according to a Daily Mail - Sport report, Greaves said men's and ladies darts should be separate and that no woman would win at Ally Pally, lending additional significance to her victory. Details of the event, including venue and prize money, have not been disclosed, and neither her opponents' reactions nor her future plans have been made public.
I don't know. I went a few legs up and then I started thinking about it and it caught up with me and I don't know what I was thinking about.
Honestly, I can't believe I took out that (142). I’ve had a great year, but I never thought I’d win one of these. Never, ever.
I couldn't have dreamt that up. I'm so happy, I can't even describe the way I feel. It's unbelievable and I feel so proud of myself because I was struggling really badly at the start of the year.
It's just amazing. I just feel really proud of myself, I never thought I would win one. I don't know why I'm crying so much but now hopefully I can kick on and... yeah, just amazing.
Men's and ladies darts should be separate. I don't think any lady will ever go to Ally Pally and win that. If you think that, you're being silly. I just don't think we will ever be good enough to play against the likes of Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen or Luke Littler.
