De Sousa regains lead in updated Players Championship Order of Merit after 27 events

Jose de Sousa has regained the lead in the Players Championship Order of Merit after 27 events were concluded with PDC Super Series 7 this past week.

De Sousa led before to have his lead taken by Peter Wright but he went from £56,500 to £62,500 in the latest events to lead 'Snakebite' who is currently on £60,250.

Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price went down from 2nd and 4th respectively to 3rd and 5th after not playing in Barnsley during this last week.

Michael Smith added another title and sits in 4th ahead of Price with Brendan Dolan also gaining up to 6th, alongside Dimitri van den Bergh (7th) and Ryan Searle (8th).
