The Order of Merit has been confirmed for the World Series Finals in Glasgow next month. The top ten was sought after the World Series events that have taken place throughout the year.
Gary Anderson has qualified as the number 1 seed and will be so against his home crowd in a tournament he has not had the best luck in previously.
Michael Van Gerwen will be number 2 despite missing multiple events in Australia and New Zealand as well as withdrawing from the German Darts Masters, a tournament the number 3 seed Peter Wright went on to win.
Another 5 players qualify from the rankings with Raymond van Barneveld, James Wade, Daryl Gurney, Kyle Anderson and Gerwyn Price all qualifying as a result with Phil Taylor who would have been the number 4 seed as previously reported opting against competing.
They will be joined by the qualifiers who came through the PDPA route as well as the likes of Corey Cadby, Simon Whitlock, Max Hopp and Michael Smith who have all been invited to the tournament and have all competed on the World Series stage this season.

- @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
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
