Dave Chisnall is still the leader on the PDC European Tour Order of Merit with 96,000 pounds. He is trailed by Dave Chisnall, who has £94,000 on the counter. Following close behind are Gerwyn Price (72,000 pounds), Michael van Gerwen (71,000 pounds) and Dirk van Duijvenbode (69,000 pounds).

With just two events left before the European Championship, the fight for qualification is looking fierce. The likes of Gian van Veen, Brendan Dolan and Chris Dobey currently sit inside the top 32 but it is very tight in the placings behind.

At the end of the season, the 32 best players in the final rankings will compete in the European Championship in Dortmund. This tournament is scheduled from Oct. 26 to 29.
