Let Beau Greaves Take the Spotlight: Fallon Sherrock’s Powerful Message
Fallon Sherrock, the trailblazing “Queen of the Palace,” is sending a message loud and clear: she’s ready to step aside and let another woman take the limelight in the world of professional darts. In a revelation that’s both humble and bold, Sherrock recently confessed she “never wanted to be the ‘star’ of women’s darts” — instead, she wants young phenom Beau Greaves to soak up the attention.
It’s a stunning admission from someone who already made history, but Sherrock’s mindset is grounded in something bigger than her own legacy. She’s acutely aware of the spotlight, the pressure, and the expectations that come with her name — and she’s chosen to ease off, not out of fear, but out of support. Sherrock says that letting Greaves shine “takes pressure off me.” And make no mistake: Greaves has earned every shard of that attention.
At just 21, Greaves has dominated. Her run in the PDC Women’s Series is nothing short of phenomenal: she’s beaten Sherrock, racked up consecutive titles, and shown she’s not just a future star — she’s right now. Dartsnews.com+2Dartsnews.com+2 Sherrock’s admiration is genuine. She’s praised Greaves’ ability to “play like these men,” saying her emergence is exactly what the women’s game needs. Dartsnews.com
Sherrock isn’t just making space; she’s empowering a new era. She’s reflective about her own journey — the highs of her breakthrough at the 2020 World Championship, the grueling losses, the grind of the Women’s Super Series, fatigue, and mental burnout. Dartsnews.com But instead of clinging to her past, she’s looking forward. With the 2025 PDC World Championship once again on the horizon, she’s preparing hard — but she’s not doing it for glory. She’s doing it because she still loves the game, and she believes in what the women’s circuit is becoming.
In her eyes, Greaves is part of a turning point: more tournaments, more depth, more opportunities. Sherrock rightly points out that the growth of women’s darts has been fueled by visibility, by more TV spots, by a broader platform — and with players like Greaves, that future looks brighter than ever.

Behind the scenes, Sherrock is also navigating her life as a mother. Juggling family, travel, media, and competition is no small feat — yet she carries it all with humility. Dartsnews.com She’s not backing down because she’s tired of competing; she’s backing down because she believes in making room for the next star.
This isn’t retirement or surrender — it’s legacy building. Fallon Sherrock, icon of women’s darts, is making a powerful statement: her story isn’t finished, but now, a new chapter begins. And at its heart, she isn’t just passing the torch — she’s handing over the stage. Let Beau Greaves take the attention. The future of darts has never looked more electrifying.
