If she keeps playing like she can and possibly improve it will sure be marketable! Beau is one of the best players of her age male or female!
At the moment though she gets in the way of the Fallon story, and she has been lukewarm about the PDC compared to the 'Queen if the Palace'.
They can't keep milking Fallon forever. If Beau's career has a normal trajectory she could be the woman to beat for decades
I agree, but at the moment, Fallon is more marketable than Beau. Beau saying she doesn't really like playing men doesn't help.

Just been reading wdf thread on Facebook.
The pdc being compared to the pre split BDO: ie acting like bullies.
Thus the claim that this will drive players back to the WDF

I wonder what the "extensive consultation with the PDC" looked like.

As usual you would think Porter walked around with his chest out, Eddie Hearn spat on the ground etc. They have no respect for amateur darts and for the WDF people who have been working for the good of the game for a lifetime

Beau chooses lakeside. Guarantees Sherrock at Ally Pally.

I think this a poor decision from pdc I think it should have stayed the same lady’s can do both as in pervious years

for the 2/3 men’s it would be just let them
Play they not pdc tour card holders yet Luke could have win lakeside 50k if still same prize money he won’t get to last 8 in pdc to get the same

A shame for the players, I'd have let them play both, but weren't the PDC quite clear that last year was a one-off?

Yes they did but somewhat different situation. Last year it was in April and PDC allowed fresh card holders to play.

With this they are putting restrictions on non card holders as well

She is currently qualified if she keeps her top 3 place in the Women's Series rankings. O'Sullivan, Byrne and Ashton could overtake her but it's very unlikely.
