PDC European Tour Order of Merit after 3/13 tournaments: Martin Schindler takes top just before Luke and Luke
PDCMonday, 15 April 2024 at 21:44
Martin Schindler has launched into top spot on the PDC European Tour Order of Merit after winning the International Darts Open. 'The Wall' won his first career PDC title Sunday by defeating Gerwyn Price in the final.
Winning this title earned Schindler the top prize of 30,000 pounds, bringing his total to 38,500 pounds. That was just enough to pass Luke Humphries (38,000 pounds). Luke Littler is number three with 30,000 pounds. Littler won the Belgian Darts Open, but then missed out on qualification for the following two Euro Tour tournaments. Price moved up to fourth in the rankings after his final place finish in Riesa.
Rob Cross holds the fifth spot, while Danny Noppert is the highest ranked Dutchman in sixth place. Michael van Gerwen is down in 11th, Nathan Aspinall 13th and Peter Wright down in 20th.
After three Euro Tour tournaments, there are four players who participated in all events but do not yet appear on the Euro Tour Order of Merit. Dirk van Duijvenbode, Krzysztof Ratajski, Andrew Gilding and Raymond van Barneveld had automatically qualified for the first three Euro Tours, but all lost their opening matches each time.
At the end of the season, the 32 best players in the rankings will compete in the European Championship in Dortmund. This tournament is scheduled from Oct. 24 to 27.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
