One hundred and forty-two. Treble twenty, treble twenty, double eleven. A twenty-two-year-old from Doncaster dropped to her knees in Milton Keynes as the entire history of women’s darts changed in a single throw.
Six months earlier, the world number one had told anyone who would listen: top sixty-four within two years. Nobody listened. The data said women’s tour dominators don’t convert — Sherrock had failed Q-School four times, Ashton had won zero PDC ranking titles across her entire card-holding stint, and Greaves herself had missed the Q-School cut by eight places just nine months earlier.
Humphries had something different. He had stood across the ockey from her at the UK Open and said, on the record, that if it had been a Premier League game she would have beaten him.
On the twenty-seventh of April 2026, at Players Championship 11 in Milton Keynes, Beau Greaves beat Rob Cross, Gary Anderson, and Michael Smith — three former world champions — in a single day, took out a 142 checkout in the deciding leg of the final, and became the first woman in the history of professional darts to win a PDC ranking title.
The world number one was right. It just happened faster than he predicted.
