Beau Greaves Edges Luke Littler To Become First Woman In PDC World Youth Final

The 21-year-old now weighs accepting a Development Tour–earned PDC Tour Card that would bar her from WDF events.

Overview

  • Greaves beat reigning world champion Luke Littler 6-5 in a last-leg semi-final in Wigan, less than a day after his World Grand Prix triumph.
  • She advances to face defending champion Gian van Veen in the final at Butlin’s Minehead on November 23, scheduled during the Players Championship Finals.
  • Greaves has secured a PDC Tour Card via the Development Tour, becoming only the second woman to earn one on merit, with the two-year card set to start in 2026.
  • Accepting the card would make her ineligible for WDF competitions, and she also must decide whether to play the PDC World Championship after qualifying through the Women’s Series.
  • World No. 1 Luke Humphries publicly backed her to flourish on the ProTour, while Littler congratulated her and pushed back at a sexist online remark following the match.
