Players Championship Order of Merit: Alan Soutar and Daryl Gurney shine after Hildesheim

Daryl Gurney is the new number five on the Players Championship Order of Merit after 'Superchin' lost to Alan Soutar in the final of Players Championship 11 on Tuesday. 'Soots' moved up to the 11th spot on the leaderboard as a result of his tournament victory.

Raymond van Barneveld was also one of the main winners. He has retained the fourth spot on the Players Championship Order of Merit after he managed to reach the semifinals of Players Championship 11 last Tuesday. 'Barney' thus earned 8,500 pounds for the ranking.

Wednesday, Van Barneveld has another chance to narrow the gap to the top three as Ryan Searle, Gary Anderson and Ryan Searle are all absent from the two Players Championship tournaments in Hildesheim.

After all the Players Championship tournaments, the top 64 ranked players will compete in the Players Championship Finals. This tournament from Nov. 22 to 24 will be played in Minehead.
