Players Championship Order of Merit after Van Gerwen wins PC 1 & 2
NewsMonday, 19 February 2018 at 09:00
There is already a clear leader at the top of the Players Championship Order of Merit.
Michael van Gerwen continued his incredible start to 2018 at the weekend. Mighty Mike has competed in six events, barring the Premier League, and has won five of them. Players Championship 1 and 2 were the next titles to go van Gerwen's way during a stellar spell in Barnsley. First, the Dutchman defeated James Wade 6-4. Then he thrashed Corey Cadby 6-1 to seal the honours at PC2. The £20,000 earned across two days puts him top of the Players Championship Order of Merit.
Cadby sits second, having earned £6,500, with Wade in third. Ian White and Ryan Joyce's consistency means the pair are level in fourth. Familiar faces in Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis follow the pair. But it was not a great weekend for all the big names. Joe Cullen, Justin Pipe, Vincent van der Voort, Mark Webster, Zoran Lerchbacher and Richard North all had poor weekend. They, along with 25 others, failed to win any money in Barnsley. Peter Wright, Jelle Klaasen and Dimitri van den Bergh were among those who picked up one win and £500.

- 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
