Beau Greaves is set for Players Championship 23 in Leicester with fresh ProTour history behind her after becoming the first woman seeded in a Players Championship event. The 22-year-old’s latest landmark came after Luke Humphries’ withdrawal reshaped the seedings for Players Championship 22, underlining how quickly her PDC Tour Card campaign has moved from novelty to weekly relevance.
TalkSPORT reported Greaves’ seeding milestone alongside the wider context of her first six months on the PDC circuit, which already includes a nine-darter on the ProTour and a Players Championship title win.
Why Leicester matters next
The timing gives Greaves another meaningful marker before the July squeeze. Players Championships 23 and 24 in Leicester are the final ProTour events before the World Matchplay cut-off, and the short-format floor game remains the fastest route for players trying to bank ranking money before Blackpool.
Greaves is not just carrying profile into that block. She has already proved she can beat elite male opposition over a full Players Championship day, while her Women’s Series dominance has kept her firmly in the televised conversation for the Women’s World Matchplay.
The Leicester double-header therefore becomes a useful test of what her ProTour season is becoming: not a one-off breakthrough story, but a sustained ranking push with major-stage consequences. Even a modest run next week would keep Greaves central to the PDC’s most interesting 2026 development.
