Challenge Tour Order of Merit Update: Beau Greaves & Mervyn King both in the top 5 as Darius Labanauskas leads

Another block of Challenge Tour action is done and dusted. After the likes of Mervyn King, Stefan Bellmont and Danny van Trijp secured titles, there have been some shifts in the Order of the Merit too. See it in full right here!

The ranking is still led by Darius Labanauskas, despite a relatively quiet weekend for the Lithuanian. He held a commanding lead heading into the event, but managed to add little to his tally and now stands on £8,700.

Stefan Bellmont has closed the gap, sitting second with £8,150. There’s then a slight drop to third-placed Ted Evetts on £6,750, followed by Mervyn King in fourth with £6,650 and Beau Greaves in fifth on £5,875. Jack Tweddell (£4,400), Carl Sneyd (£4,250), and Graham Hall (£3,825) round out the other names in the Challenge Tour’s current top 10.

Elsewhere, Danny van Trijp has climbed into the top 10 of the Challenge Tour Order of Merit after claiming victory at one of last weekend’s Challenge Tour events. Van Trijp now sits eighth in the rankings, putting himself in strong contention for potential reserve spots on the Pro Tour.

Jamai van den Herik also picked up a tournament win and has surged to 10th place in the standings.

The Challenge Tour is open to players who entered Q-School but did not secure a Tour Card. Through this circuit, the highest-ranked players can earn reserve spots for Players Championship events. The top two players at the end of the season will secure a PDC Tour Card and qualify for the PDC World Darts Championship.
