Gary Anderson and Gerwyn Price strengthen last gasp Minehead bid in Players Championship Order of Merit as Luke Humphries makes top 10 after title success

Wednesday, 04 November 2026 at 20:07

The Players Championship series comprises a total of 34 tournaments, which take place over Hildesheim, Wigan, Leicester, Milton Keynes, and, for 2026, a trip to Den Bosch.

It sees the top names, including Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, and Gian van Veen, in action over the course of the year, with the PDC ProTour being seen as the so-called Bread and Butter tournaments that help towards qualifying for most majors, including the PDC World Darts Championship.

But the Players Championship Order of Merit is the one to watch for this series, as it sees the top 64 players over the course of the season qualify for the Players Championship Finals, which take place in Minehead at the end of November.

It is determined based on total prize money won by each player in the Players Championship events throughout the year. The top 64 qualify, and it also spells some issues, as it did in 2025 for the likes of Luke Littler, Nathan Aspinall, and Luke Humphries, who had to qualify late. Michael van Gerwen, for instance, did not qualify at all.

Anderson and Price strengthen Minehead hopes, Rock faces last gasp attempt

The Players Championship Order of Merit has been updated after Luke Humphries scooped yet another ProTour title and he has shifted himself from 23rd to 9th after winning a fourth title of the year in Leicester.

Fellow finalist Niels Zonneveld too was also on the money as he is up to 21st, while Michael van Gerwen once in the 30's is now heading towards the top 20 in 22nd.

But the big news comes from other big names as Gary Anderson looked out of Minehead as of today, but a run to the latter stages saw him go up to 57th up 11 spots so as of right now he will play in the season ender. As will Gerwyn Price who was teetering on the edge and is up nine spots to 49th from 58th.

Albeit Josh Rock ahead of tomorrow's final event is in 84th and so is unlikely to qualify while of course Nathan Aspinall and Luke Littler won't play at all after yet again skipping more ProTours.

A big final day awaits for the Minehead hunt with Henry Coates and Mike de Decker currently on the edge of the top 64.
