Rob Cross claimed victory at the World Matchplay with victory over Michael Smith last night in Blackpool and as a result strengthened his grip on the number two spot in the Order of Merit.
Cross has now won more ranking money at £937,250 than any World Number Two in history and more than any player in history barring of course Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen.
This shows the amount of money that is on offer in darts at the moment with Cross now having won both of the biggest titles in darts in the form of World Championship and World Matchplay during the rolling two year cycle.

- 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
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
