Taylor Greaves: 5 Facts On Beau Greaves Older Brother By 7 Years
Taylor Greaves, the older brother of Beau Greaves, is a former dart prodigy. Before Beau, it was Taylor who had brought pride to his family with his dart skills.
But as Taylor got older, he lost his touch, as the last time he played the game professionally was back in 2018. Older than Beau by seven years, he had once defeated his majestic sister in the game.
On Sunday, Beau Greaves progressed to the PDC World Darts Championship, and she had her sister Bobbi Greaves to celebrate alongside her with Taylor, who has been notably absent from the media limelight for a long time.
Beau has previously thanked her 25-year-old brother, Taylor, for sparking her interest in the sports that she now ranks no.1 and earlier this year became the youngest ever World Championship winner.

Taylor Greaves is the older brother of Beau Greaves. A former dart prodigy himself, Taylor was headed to the limelight just like his sister. But things went south quickly as he failed to make any significant impact.
The oldest of the Greaves family, Taylor was a major source of inspiration growing up for Beau. The 18-year-old who currently stands at no.1 rank in the Women’s World Dart Federation grew up playing darts with her older brother at their home in Doncaster.
Taylor remains absent from social media sites and had once appeared in a photograph with his other younger sister, Bobbi Greaves during their father’s birthday celebration last year.

In 2016, Taylor Greaves defeated his sister Beau Greaves in a darts tournament. In a thrilling encounter held in Yorkshire, the Greaves siblings dominated the dartboards with their precise throws.
At the time, Beau was 12 and Taylor 19, and both had come out on top against players significantly older than them. The siblings had caused havoc in the games and faced each other in the semi-finals.
In their match, Beau had taken an early 2-0 lead against her older brother, but Taylor clawed back to win the encounter 4-3. And after defeating his younger sister in the semi-final, it was only right for Taylor to win the entire tournament.
Sadly, we cannot see the Greaves siblings competing in professional tournaments. Why Taylor left the sports that he once enjoyed playing remains a mystery.
