The "Beau ’n’ Arrow" Revolution: Greaves Hits Perfection in Leicester

For the last few years, the question in professional darts wasn’t if Beau Greaves would be able to make it in the professional game, quite the opposite. It has been more of a question of how many records she would break on her rise to the top.

On February 25, 2026, the 22-year-old from Doncaster provided a definitive answer to that question.

In a moment that will be etched into sporting history, Greaves became the first female player to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour. During her Players Championship 6 clash against veteran Mensur Suljovic in Leicester, "Beau ’n’ Arrow" achieved the "perfect leg" in spectacular fashion:

 1st Turn: 180

 2nd Turn: 180

 The Finish: 141 (Treble 20, Treble 19, Double 12)

As the final dart sank into the red of the double 12, the room—and the darting world—erupted.

Whilst Fallon Sherrock had previously recorded a televised nine-darter on the Challenge Tour in 2023, Greaves’ feat marks the first time a woman has achieved perfection on the elite ProTour circuit.

Greaves’ rise has been less of a climb and more of a rocket towards success.

Since bursting onto the scene, she has dominated the women’s game with a level of skill and dominance rarely seen in any sport.

PDC Tour Card (2026): Greaves earned her PDC Tour Card for the 2026–2027 seasons by finishing second in the 2025 PDC Development Tour rankings. She is only the second woman to earn a tour card on merit.  

WDF Success (2022–2024): Before joining the pro circuit, she dominated the World Darts Federation (WDF), winning three consecutive Women's World Championships in 2022, 2023, and 2024.  

PDC Emergence (2022–2025): She began competing in PDC-affiliated events like the Women's Series in 2022 and made her PDC World Championship debut in December 2022.  

Earlier this year, Greaves reached a staggering landmark of 100+ consecutive match wins on the PDC Women's Series, claiming 17 consecutive titles!

She entered the 2026 season as a three-time WDF Women's World Champion (2022, 2023, 2024) and a two-time Women’s World Matchplay winner.

But Greaves isn't just beating the women along the way; she’s destroying the best in the world in her wake. Her 2025 season saw her reach the final of the PDC World Youth Championship, where she defeated the likes of Luke Littler and Josh Rock.

It is easy to forget that only a few years ago, Greaves was a shy teenager who admitted she was "almost a mute" in school. Darts became her voice. After initially opting to stay on the WDF circuit to build her confidence, she finally accepted her PDC Tour Card for the 2026/27 season.

Her transition to the full professional tour has been seamless. Sporting a season average of nearly 95 and frequently touching the 110 mark in individual matches, she has moved past being just a "female sensation" to simply being one of the most dangerous players in the game, rivalling the popularity of players such as Luke Littler.

With a ProTour nine-darter already in the bag just months into her professional career, the expectation on Beau Greaves has risen exponentially. 

Experts and former pros are openly predicting she will be the first woman to win a major PDC title. Beau Greaves is no longer just the future of darts; she is the present. And if her performance in Leicester is any indication, the "Beau ’n’ Arrow" era has only just begun.
