PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit Update: Josh Rock new leader as Luke Littler nearly caught by rising Dutch rival
PDCWednesday, 30 April 2025 at 11:41
Josh Rock is the new leader on the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit. He leads the ranking with £175,000 on which the results of Euro Tour tournaments and Players Championship events over the past 12 months count.
The ranking was led for a long time by Dave Chisnall, but 'Chizzy' recently lost this position to Stephen Bunting. Meanwhile, Chisnall is still second with £169,500, but Bunting has fallen back to fourth place with £158,000.
Martin Schindler is the new number three in the rankings. 'The Wall' shined last weekend in Austria by winning the Austrian Darts Open. With this he earned £30,000, and now stands at £166,000 in the rankings.
Michael van Gerwen dropped to fifth place. At 146,000 pounds, the Dutchman does have a nice margin over his closest pursuers Damon Heta (137,500 pounds) and Ross Smith (137,000 pounds).

Reigning world champion Luke Littler is only number eight with 133,500 pounds. However, 'The Nuke' is hot on the heels of Gian van Veen, who is in a neat ninth place with 132,500 pounds. Luke Humphries closes out the top-10 with 128,500 pounds. Gerwyn Price, winner of two Players Championship tournaments earlier this season, is only fifteenth on the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit with 112,000 pounds. That puts him further ahead of Ryan Searle, Cameron Menzies, Chris Dobey and Jonny Clayton.
Through the Pro Tour, players can qualify for the televised tournaments. At tournaments such as the World Matchplay and the World Grand Prix, in addition to the top-16 of the world rankings, the sixteen best players of the Pro Tour ranking are also invited. The same applies to Euro Tour tournaments, while the top-32 at Players Championship tournaments have protected status in the draw.

- The perfect darts player has to have the ability of Phil Taylor, looks of Chris Mason with the tan of Steve Beaton The throw, toughness and personality of Richie Burnett with Ted Hankey walk on music and the 9 darter celebration of Dean Winstanly. Mr Brightside always reminds me of Dean Winstanly as it was his original theme.richieburnettrocks18-06-2025
- Most of the players are already whinging about playing to much, unless something else is going to be axed where will another couple of competitions be squeezed in?Mysstree16-06-2025
- Indeed. The kid should grow up. Part of the game.SheGotLegs16-06-2025
- i also didn't see littler kicking off about this issue when it was his fans whistling and putting off opponents, which was happening on the regular during his first year on tour. humphries had to deal with it basically every time they played each other.colt16-06-2025
- Brilliant, Eric knew the risks and like most who die his age, bollox to being old and all that. Fair play to him and the rest of those who die young doing the same thing.Plaza15-06-2025
- So all of a sudden Littler is just a kid and it’s unfair as the Media’s darling golden boy gets the grief, never a problem though was it while it was Gerwyn Price. Been saying this for ages that something needs doing about crowd behaviour but the PDC don’t really care as long as the pissed up punters flock to Premier League night. The worry for the PDC is that as Littler has gone beyond the darts fan base and is the most high profile player in the world there is the risk that he is bigger than the PDC and then others with more clout (government for example) may start telling them to clean up their act. Bazza, Eddie and Porter will hate that.Mysstree15-06-2025
- As much as it's disappointing that England lost,Peter Wright's speculation didn't help himself and Gary either. It is, however, another pointless tournament. So,like the football club world cup,it means absolutely nothingrick6714-06-2025
- That poor trophy being next to that ! Oh my good god, what a hideous image !!richieburnettrocks10-06-2025
- Inspiration from walk on music Losing weight and trying to improve fitness from the dull as dishwater Dobey. The only inspiration Phil Taylor needed was to win and win and win. Players of today are pathetic, so vain and more obsessed with being popular or their walk on music than actually being dedicated to putting in the effort and winning something.richieburnettrocks08-06-2025
- Agree with much of this though as stated on the Rob cross thread and assuming he has a manager, he has not done a very good job. Wherever there is money there will always be those trying to get a cut, skim the cream from the top, more money in the game, more hangers on, fitness trainers, phycologists, accountants, social media analyst.Mysstree07-06-2025
