Gary Anderson top of the pile on Players Championship Order of Merit, Van Duijvenbode drops from first to fourth after absence in Barnsley
PDCSunday, 22 October 2023 at 13:30
Dirk van Duijvenbode did not compete in the four Players Championship tournaments in Barnsley last week and as a result lost his lead on the Players Championship Order of Merit.
Van Duijvenbode even dropped from first to fourth place. The ranking is now led by Gary Anderson, who managed to capture one of the four titles in Barnsley. After 28 of the 30 Players Championship tournaments, Anderson stands at 77,750 pounds, which is 10,500 pounds more than number two Gerwyn Price. Damon Heta is third with 66,500 pounds, followed by Dirk van Duijvenbode with 62,250 pounds.
On Saturday, this week's final Players Championship tournament was won by Ross Smith, who took his second title of the season. 'Smudger' moved up to eighth place in the rankings as a result.
In early November, the final two Players Championship tournaments of the season will be played. After these two-tournaments, the top-64 of the Players Championship Order of Merit will qualify for the Players Championship Finals.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
