PDC Order of Merit: Michael van Gerwen retakes second spot from Michael Smith; Gerwyn Price returns to world's top four
PDCMonday, 27 May 2024 at 14:30
The top-10 of the PDC Order of Merit underwent quite a few changes after the Dutch Darts Championship. No less than eight positions in the world's top-10 got a new owner.
Luke Humphries, of course, remained number one in the Order of Merit, whilst Michael van Gerwen retook second place from Michael Smith. 'Bullyboy' won a Euro Tour tournament in late May two years ago, but chose to forego the Euro Tour tournament in Rosmalen this time around, causing him to lose considerable pounds on the rankings.
Gerwyn Price is back in the top four of the PDC Order of Merit following his quarterfinal finish at the Dutch Darts Championship. 'The Iceman' passed both Rob Cross and Nathan Aspinall. Dave Chisnall retained his seventh spot, whilst Jonny Clayton moved up from tenth to eighth. Peter Wright meanwhile had to surrender a further two spots and is now ninth, while Dimitri van den Bergh moved up one spot and is now tenth.
The Dutch Darts Championship was won by Josh Rock, who is getting closer and closer to a debut in the top-16 of the world rankings. 'Rocky' climbed from 20th position to 18th. That was then at the expense of Andrew Gilding and Ryan Searle.

- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
