Order of Merit World Series of Darts 2025: Stephen Bunting leads Gerwyn Price after Bahrain Darts Masters
PDC
The World Series of Darts Order of Merit has been updated after the Bahrain Darts Masters with obvious leaders at the top including Stephen Bunting who won the tournament.
Bunting scooped the title last weekend as he saw off Gerwyn Price in the final. They are the top two with 12 points for a title and 8 points for a final and so on so this this gives the guide in the race to Amsterdam where the World Series of Darts Finals are held in November.
Price sits second with 8 points ahead of Peter Wright on five points with Luke Humphries tied also on the same amount ahead of Chris Dobey, Nathan Aspinall, Paolo Nebrida and Luke Littler who sits on three points.
Lourence Ilagan, Nitin Kumar, Rob Cross, Xiaochen Zong, Alexis Toylo, Lok-Yin Lee, Basem Mahmood and Abdulla Saeed sit on one point apiece which signifies an early defeat. Michael van Gerwen is yet to add himself to the standings but will this weekend.
He plays at the Dutch Darts Masters in Den Bosch this weekend. There will also be scope for further players to get invited and play and those from Holland and Belgium who are on the opposing side this weekend also add their name to the hat.
The top eight qualify as seeds with further qualifiers coming from eight more in the Order of Merit and the rest are Order of Merit and Tour Card holder qualifiers by the end of the seven events.

- I agree,but there still isn't a good enough German player to be considered. I've said before,scrap the whole thing,its a payday for the top players and gives nothing to anyone elserick6707-04-2025
- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025
- Aspinall really struggles against Littler. Head to head is currently 9 - 1 in Littlers favour.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
