PDC Women's Series Preview: Huge Weekend Ahead In Wigan

 

The 2026 PDC Women's Series returns this weekend as players head to Wigan for Events 13-16 of the season.

While attention will naturally focus on the race for qualification to July's Betfred Women's World Matchplay, there is plenty more at stake as some of the best female darts players in the world battle for ranking points, prize money and valuable momentum.

The Women's Series has once again produced outstanding competition throughout 2026, with established stars continuing to perform alongside a growing group of challengers looking to make their breakthrough.

At the top of the rankings sits Beau Greaves, who has once again demonstrated why she is regarded as one of the finest players in the sport. Her recent performances against PDC Tour Card holders have only strengthened her reputation and she arrives in Wigan as the player everyone wants to beat.

Former world champions Lisa Ashton and Fallon Sherrock remain firmly in the mix and both have already shown this season that they are capable of lifting titles when at their best.

Gemma Hayter continues to impress with a series of strong performances, while Vicky Pruim heads into the weekend on the back of her Women's Series Event 12 triumph. Both will have ambitions of climbing further up the rankings and securing a place among the sport's elite.

Further down the standings, players such as Karolina Ratajska, Robyn Byrne, Angela Kirkwood and Lauryn Salter know that a strong weekend could dramatically alter their season.

Matchplay Race Tightening Up

With only four events remaining before the qualification picture is finalised, every match and every ranking point could prove crucial.

Current top eight:

1. Beau Greaves
2. Lisa Ashton
3. Fallon Sherrock
4. Gemma Hayter
5. Deta Hedman
6. Rhian O'Sullivan
7. Vicky Pruim
8. Kirsi Viinikainen

However, Robyn Byrne, Steph Clarke, Trina Gulliver, Jade Gofford and several others remain within striking distance.

By Sunday evening we should have a much clearer picture of who will be heading to Blackpool, but before then there are four tournaments and plenty of drama still to come.
