PDC Order of Merit Update: Luke Humphries retains dominant lead as Mensur Suljovic boost hopes of retaining Tour Card
PDCSunday, 25 August 2024 at 16:08
The past two Players Championship tournaments in Milton Keynes have caused very few shifts in the world rankings. As such, Luke Humphries remains a dominant leader with Michael Smith and Michael van Gerwen completing the top 3.
Just outside the top-16, Ryan Searle swapped positions with Dirk van Duijvenbode, putting 'Aubergenius' now outside the top-20 on the PDC Order of Merit. Scott Williams came level with Gian van Veen, leaving the Englishman and the Dutchman sharing the 31st spot.
Madars Razma passed Callan Rydz, meaning Razma is now ranked No. 38 in the world. Cameron Menzies made nice progress in the world rankings, after reaching a semifinal and a final at the most recent Players Championship tournaments. The Scot climbed four places and is now in 43rd place. That was at the expense of Jermaine Wattimena (-1), Ritchie Edhouse (-2) and William O'Connor (-1).
Mensur Suljovic pocketed important pounds in his battle to retain his Tour Card. 'The Gentle' made it to the quarterfinals of Players Championship 19, moving up two spots on the PDC Order of Merit. The Austrian now holds the 57th spot.
Thibault Tricole is another player who made a nice leap. In Milton Keynes, the Frenchman reached his very first semifinal ever at a PDC ranking tournament. Tricole climbed nine places and can now call himself the No. 87 player in the world.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
