Daryl Gurney has continued his brilliant year by moving up to a career high fourth in the Order of Merit, Gurney started the year in 21st place and has had a Mensur Suljovic type rise up the rankings over the past few months. He moved up to 6th after his World Grand Prix win but gained another £20k to topple Adrian Lewis.
Peter Wright has climbed once again above Gary Anderson into second place and quarter-final appearances for Michael Smith and Simon Whitlock saw them overtake James Wade, who drops to 12th.
European Championship semi-finalist Kyle Anderson moved up to a career-high 22nd, while runner-up Rob Cross jumped from 29th to 24th in the standings after claiming £40,000 in prize money.
Gurney spoke about moving up to 4th but was ambitious despite his high ranking rise and wants more in the future and will now target Anderson, Wright and MVG.
"To be number four in the world looks great but I still haven't achieved what I want to and obviously the main goal is going beyond four - but number four in the world is really good," said Gurney.
"There's probably a lot more players who are better than me in the world - I don't see myself as the number four. I'm just a normal player trying my best in every single game."
