Beau Greaves will begin her bid for Ladbrokes UK Open glory against Darryl Pilgrim on Friday afternoon, with the draw and stage allocations confirmed for the opening session of this week’s event in Minehead.


Greaves will be amongst the headline acts in the annual festival of darts, which will take place at Butlin’s Minehead Resort from March 6-8.

The unique multi-board tournament will see the 128 PDC Tour Card Holders competing across three days of action alongside PDC in the Community Qualifiers, Rileys Amateur Qualifiers and top-ranked players from the 2025 Winmau Challenge Tour and Development Tour rankings.

The 160-player field will see Tour Card Holders enter across the first four rounds, based on their PDC ranking position following last week's Players Championship double-header in Leicester. The opening three rounds will be held in an action-packed session from 1100 GMT on Friday March 6, before the world’s top 32 enter the fray in round four on Friday evening.

Round One will see Tour Card Holders ranked from 97-128 joined by the eight PDC in the Community Qualifiers, eight Rileys Amateur Qualifiers and 16 players from the 2025 Challenge Tour and Development Tour.

Stage Two action on Friday and Saturday will be streamed exclusively for all PDCTV Subscribers worldwide, with every match from Stages Three to Eight also available live on PDCTV. Players will compete for the £120,000 top prize and the coveted title across the weekend in Minehead, with a total prize fund of £750,000 on offer being paid down to the last 128.
