The Players Championship Order of Merit has been updated after the 22nd tournament of the season with two Dutchman in particular making strides and a change in the top three.
Danny Noppert took the title and moved outside the top 10 into the top six and is now hunting down Luke Humphries and Josh Rock who sit in fourth and fifth. Christian Kist who lost in the final to 'The Freeze' could dream of playing in the Finals and even the World Championship, he is in the top 40.
Damon Heta too is now in the top three. He lost in the semi-final to Kist and as a result, displaces Humphries. Michael Smith, James Wade, and Raymond van Barneveld also achieved rises with their runs. 'Bully Boy' is up seven spots to 20th, Wade is up two, and Van Barneveld is up four further into the top 40 with his first Quarter-Final since March.
After all the Players Championship tournaments, the top 64 ranked players will compete in the Players Championship Finals. This tournament from Nov. 24 to 26 will be played in Minehead.
