Jonny Clayton had a potentially landmark moment in his career this past weekend winning the Austrian Darts Open in Graz. This title win brings him many benefits including a World Grand Prix debut.
He will be up to 1st place in the Pro Tour Order of Merit with minimum money added by the cut off. With only minimum money added, it is not inconceivable either that he will be in the top 16 by this point.
With minimum money added also it could mean that Krzysztof Ratajski could slip in by the finest of margins to make his debut. Ron Meulenkamp will be another player who will make his debut in both the Grand Prix and the World Matchplay showing the form of the bomb.
Also looking at the main Order of Merit, Rob Cross is right behind Peter Wright so depending on results he could become the new World Number 2 by the end of the year.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
