PDCThursday, 01 August 2024 at 13:12
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.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
