Darts prodigy Beau Greaves has expressed her willingness to join the prestigious Premier League if given the opportunity. The 21-year-old gained attention after defeating Luke Littler on her path to victory in the World Youth Final, sparking discussions about her potential ascent in the sport.
Renowned five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld has suggested that a strong performance at the upcoming PDC World Championship could secure Greaves a spot among the elite eight Premier League players. In the previous year, Luke Humphries emerged victorious, accompanied by other top players like Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross, Nathan Aspinall, Michael van Gerwen, and Chris Dobey.
While Greaves remains doubtful about her immediate Premier League prospects, she conveyed her excitement at the possibility. She expressed gratitude for the encouraging remarks she has received from the darting community, acknowledging the significance of such praise given her admiration for the seasoned players she grew up watching.
Reflecting on her recent triumph over Littler, Greaves acknowledged the confidence boost it provided, noting her past struggles with self-assurance. The three-time women’s world champion is gearing up to face Michael van Gerwen in her opening group match at the Grand Slam of Darts, aiming to challenge stereotypes and demonstrate her competitive prowess against male counterparts.
Despite past reservations, Greaves now exudes confidence, crediting her Tour Card for instilling belief in her abilities. She emphasized the importance of timing and enjoyment in her approach to the game, asserting her readiness to take on any opponent with a positive mindset and a focus on her own performance.
