The PDC Order of Merit has been updated after the latest European Tour event in the form of the Austrian Darts Open in Graz with Peter Wright falling out of the top five being the big talking point.

Wright has been in the top five since 2014 and has now slid down to number six in the world showing the drop in form ‘Snakebite’ has had as well as money that he won two years ago when he was in really good form dropping off.
Michael Smith as a result has now taken his position despite 'Bully Boy' himself not being in the best form as of late. Nathan Aspinall continues his march towards the top ten with 'The Asp' swapping round positions with Jonny Clayton.
Steve Beaton has gone up one place as well with him rolling back the years as of late meaning he sits in 19th place. Raymond van Barneveld is also rising again with him swapping positions with Dimitri van den Bergh from 31st to 29th.
William O'Connor and Jeffrey de Zwaan both won titles last week and this progress has been shown on the Order of Merit too. O'Connor has risen from 52nd to 47th in a title win that will not only potentially give him his place in multiple majors but also seal his Tour Card for 2020 already. Further up, De Zwaan with his win edges closer to the top 32 as he sits on 35th now.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
