PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit prior to final day: Scutt and Plaisier on course for Tour Cards, Ally Pally spots up for grabs

Sunday marks the final two tournaments of the 2024 PDC Challenge Tour season. It promises to be an exciting day in Leicester as the stakes are high.

The Challenge Tour is open to players who participated in the Q-School but did not win a Tour Card there. Through this circuit, however, starting tickets can be earned for the majors. The winner of the ranking gets to compete in the Grand Slam of Darts, while the top two players receive an invitation to the World Darts Championship and a PDC Tour Card for the following two seasons.

Connor Scutt currently leads the PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit with 10,125 pounds, but Wesley Plaisier follows 50 pounds behind with 10,075 pounds. Because Scutt and Plaisier have already qualified for the World Darts Championship via the Pro Tour, those spot move on to numbers three and four. Those are currently Christian Kist and Alexander Merkx. The number five is also a Dutchman, Danny Jansen is only 75 pounds behind Merkx.

The Tour Cards at this point appear to be going to Scutt and Plaisier, although Kist still has a good chance of throwing a spanner in the works. Scutt, with two tournaments to go, has the best chance to go to the Grand Slam of Darts.
