Women’s World Matchplay Champion to Make UK Open Debut
Beau Greaves, the champion of the Women’s World Matchplay, is set to face Switzerland’s Stefan Bellmont in her opening match of the 2025 UK Open. The matchups and stage allocations for the first round have been officially announced ahead of the event, which is scheduled to take place at Butlin’s Minehead Resort from February 28 to March 2.
This marks Greaves’ highly anticipated debut in the annual darting festival, and she is coming off a successful month where she captured two titles on the Challenge Tour. However, her initial challenge at the UK Open will be formidable, as she goes head-to-head with Bellmont, known for his strong performance as a semi-finalist in a recent Players Championship.
The event will see some of the biggest names in darts commence their campaigns starting in round four, including reigning champion Dimitri Van den Bergh, world number one Luke Humphries, and world champion Luke Littler. In addition to these players, former champions such as Michael van Gerwen, Nathan Aspinall, Peter Wright, and Gary Anderson will also be competing in the fourth round.
A notable opening match will feature Scotland’s World Cup winner John Henderson squaring off against former Tour Card holder Graham Usher. Another highlight includes Wesley Plaisier competing against Cam Crabtree, setting the stage for an exciting start to the tournament.
Overall, players will vie for the prestigious title and a significant £110,000 top prize. The total prize fund for the weekend is an impressive £600,000, which will be distributed down to the last 128 players.
