Darts prodigy Beau Greaves has expressed her openness to joining the prestigious Premier League if the opportunity arises. The 21-year-old gained recognition after defeating Luke Littler en route to victory in the World Youth Final, sparking discussions about her future trajectory.
Renowned five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld has suggested that an impressive performance at the upcoming PDC World Championship could secure Greaves a spot among the elite eight Premier League players. The previous champion, Luke Humphries, was joined by top players like Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross, Nathan Aspinall, Michael van Gerwen, and Chris Dobey in the prestigious league.
While Greaves remains cautious about the possibility of entering the Premier League, she expressed excitement at the prospect and appreciated the positive feedback she has received from established players. She acknowledged the flattering remarks, mentioning her admiration for the seasoned players she grew up watching.
Reflecting on her recent victory over Littler, Greaves acknowledged that the win boosted her confidence, a quality she had been working on building over the years. She is now gearing up to face off against Michael van Gerwen in the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton, aiming to challenge preconceptions about women’s capabilities in the sport.
Despite previous doubts about competing against male players, Greaves now exudes confidence, attributing it to her Tour Card acquisition and belief in her skills. She emphasized the importance of enjoying the game without putting undue pressure on herself, highlighting her readiness to take on any opponent with a positive mindset.
