Beau Greaves ended her 2026 PDC Women’s Series season with a record-breaking streak of victories on the way to two tournament wins at Event 23 and 24 in Wigan.

Greaves – who had already claimed back-to-back titles in Event 21 and 22 on Saturday – averaged 98.75 on the way to her third successive competition title at Event 23, marking the highest event-winning average in the history of the Women’s Series.

The Yorkshire native – who has won 17 out of a possible 24 Women’s Series events this year – won all of her first four matches by a 4-0 scoreline, posting a stunning 103.66 average in her victory against Steph Clark.

She lost her first legs of the day in her 5-2 victory against Gemma Hayter in the quarter-finals, before beating Fallon Sherrock – who confirmed her own return to the World Darts Championship on Saturday – in the semi-final.

Her 5-3 victory against Jade Gofford in the final confirmed her first title of the day, before beating Laura van den Berg, Sara Walton, Vicky Martin and Lauren Bloomfield to reach the quarter-finals of event 24.

Wins against Kirsty Hutchinson and 20-year-old Italian Aurora Fochesato confirmed her second title of the day and her fourth of the weekend to cap off a successful 2026 season.

“I felt good,” Greaves said. “I was chuffed with the first competition. I had some good averages and then I played steady enough in the second event.

“I knew I hadn’t been playing at my best recently, but I’ve had some good moments today and I’m ready to build on it and take this into the back end of the year.”

The Wigan double-header also saw Vicky Pruim claim the final spot on offer to compete in the World Darts Championship through the Women’s Series rankings, joining Greaves, Sherrock, Hayter and Lisa Ashton.
