Luke Littler moved up the Players Champinship Order of Merit by a notch after 'The Nuke' won the fifteenth Players Championship tournament of the season Wednesday night.
Littler rose from seventeenth position to sixth. Wessel Nijman, who lost against Littler in the final, also made a huge jump. He climbed from 53rd place to 21st.
The ranking is still led by Ryan Searle, who still has a 1,000-pound lead over Gary Anderson. Close behind are Crhis Dobey, Raymond van Barneveld and Ross Smith. Damon Heta, Danny Noppert, Jonny Clayton and Daryl Gurney conclude the top 10. But Littler was the first player to be a two-time winner this season.

Other than that, it has been different winners meaning that it has been very close fought between the top players involved who for the most part have all won titles.
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.

- 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
