Beau Greaves utterly dominated the 2026 PDC Women’s Series, sweeping all four final weekend events to finish an incredible season with 17 titles and an overwhelming lead in the rankings. Meanwhile, Vicky Pruim achieved a significant milestone, securing her first-ever spot in the prestigious PDC World Darts Championship, joining fellow qualifiers Lisa Ashton, Fallon Sherrock, and Gemma Hayter.
Greaves’ Unstoppable Season: A Darts Phenomenon
The 2026 PDC Women’s Series concluded with a display of unprecedented dominance from Beau Greaves. At Wigan’s Robin Park Leisure Centre, Greaves completed a remarkable feat, winning all four tournaments over the final weekend. This incredible performance brought her season total to an astounding 17 titles out of the 22 events she entered, solidifying her status as the undisputed queen of women’s darts.
Her dominance was reflected in the final standings, where she amassed £44,700, a staggering £26,000 more than her closest competitor, Lisa Ashton. Greaves had already secured her place in the PDC World Darts Championship through her commanding position on the PDC Pro Tour standings and by winning the Women’s World Matchplay, making her final weekend sweep a victory lap.
A Weekend of Pure Dominance: How Greaves Swept Wigan
- Event 21 Victory: She kicked off the weekend with a 5-3 win over Vicky Pruim in the final, securing it with a rapid 13-dart leg. Earlier, she showcased her elite form with a 101.55 average in a 5-0 quarter-final triumph over Rhian O’Sullivan and a similar 5-0 victory against Fallon Sherrock in the semi-finals.
- Event 22 Challenge & Triumph: Facing a tougher challenge, Greaves battled back from 3-1 down against Lisa Ashton in the last-32, winning 4-3 after Ashton missed crucial match darts. She then powered through Joanne Oldershaw (5-0) and Leanne Topper (5-1) before defeating Gemma Hayter 5-3 in the final, averaging 92.44. This runner-up finish was vital for Hayter, securing her return to Alexandra Palace.
- Event 23 Continued Success: Greaves continued her winning streak, claiming her 16th title of the season by beating Jade Gofford in the final.
- Event 24 Grand Finale: The final tournament saw Greaves face Italy’s Aurora Fochesato in the decider. Once again, Greaves emerged victorious, completing her perfect weekend sweep and earning £10,000 from these four events alone.
Pruim’s Historic Breakthrough: A Dream Realized
While Greaves stole the headlines with her relentless winning, the weekend also marked a career-defining moment for Vicky Pruim. Finishing fifth in the Women’s Series standings with £9,200, Pruim secured her first-ever appearance at the prestigious PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace.
Pruim’s journey included reaching the Event 21 final against Greaves, a 5-4 semi-final victory over Lisa Ashton, and a 5-2 win against Kirsi Viinikainen. Her strong performance in Event 24, reaching the semi-finals and adding £750 to her total, cemented her position, finishing a comfortable £1,900 ahead of sixth-placed Deta Hedman.
Pruim’s breakthrough moment earlier in the season came in Event 12, where she won her first Women’s Series title by defeating Gemma Hayter. This, combined with two further final appearances, including the one against Greaves, propelled the Swedish player into the top five.
The Other Qualifiers: Elite Talent Heading to Alexandra Palace
- Lisa Ashton (2nd Place, £18,700): Ashton was the only other player besides Greaves to win multiple titles on the 2026 circuit, securing three victories (Events 5, 15, and 17) and reaching five additional finals. Her consistency earned her a well-deserved spot.
- Fallon Sherrock (3rd Place, £14,150): “The Queen of the Palace” secured her return with an Event 18 victory and three other final appearances, demonstrating her consistent threat.
- Gemma Hayter (4th Place, £11,400): Despite not winning a tournament, Hayter’s remarkable consistency, including three runner-up finishes and six semi-final appearances, ensured her qualification.
Beyond the World Championship, Lisa Ashton will also join Beau Greaves at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton in November, a testament to their exceptional performances throughout the 2026 season. The darts world now eagerly anticipates these major tournaments, where the cream of the women’s darts crop will compete on the biggest stages.
