Chris Dobey has won the most prize money at
Players Championship tournaments this season. During the series of thirty tournaments, "Hollywood" earned 98,000 pounds in prize money, leading the final standings of the Players Championship Order of Merit.
Dobey managed to reach five Players Championship finals, three of which he won. There was only one player who made more Players Championship finals than Dobey, and that was number two
Stephen Bunting. 'The Bullet' played in no less than six finals, but also lost all six. Nevertheless, Bunting kept £97,000 from the Players Championship season.
Damon Heta finished in third place with 85,500 pounds, followed by Ryan Searle, Dave Chisnall,
Gary Anderson and Josh Rock.
Luke Littler finished in a shared seventh place in his debut season. The 17-year-old Englishman played only seventeen of the thirty Players Championship tournaments, but earned 71,500 pounds. Littler managed to win three of these tournaments.
In spot nine we find the first Dutchman. Danny Noppert pocketed a total of 71,000 pounds for the ranking, and managed to win a Players Championship tournament himself.
Michael van Gerwen won two of the sixteen Players Championships he played and eventually finished seventeenth.
That is higher than reigning world champion
Luke Humphries, who after two Players Championship finals (one of which was a win), finished in 19th place. Like Van Gerwen, Humphries played only 16 of 30 tournaments.
The results at the Players Championship tournaments counted in the qualification races for various major tournaments, with the Players Championship Finals in particular. In fact, the only route to qualify for these is through the Players Championship tournaments. The top-64 of the Players Championship Finals qualified for the Players Championship Finals.
