Players Championship Order of Merit Update: Michael van Gerwen well outside of Minehead spots after another early loss
PDCTuesday, 13 May 2025 at 06:00
Krzysztof Ratajski has made a big jump on the Players Championship Order of Merit after winning the fifteenth Players Championship tournament on Monday.
The Pole successively defeated Dylan Slevin (6-3), Jim Long (6-2), Jamai van den Herik (6-5), Carl Sneyd (6-0), Ross Smith (6-5), Scott Williams (7-4) and Dave Chisnall (8-4) to win a PDC rankings title for the eleventh time in his career. His title earned him 15,000 pounds, which moved him up 40 spots and now ranks him 13th in the Players Championship rankings.
Gian van Veen is still second. He is only ahead of Gerwyn Price. The Welshman is on 57,000 pounds, but will add nothing this week. 'The Iceman' is one of the many top players not competing in the Players Championship twosome in Hildesheim.
Cameron Menzies follows in third place with £48,000, while Josh Rock (£43,500) and Damon Heta (£41,500) complete the top five. Michael van Gerwen sits only just inside the top 100 as despite playing this week, he lost again in the opening round so failed to add any money to his total. At the end of the season, the top 64 will receive an invitation to participate in the Players Championship Finals.

- The perfect darts player has to have the ability of Phil Taylor, looks of Chris Mason with the tan of Steve Beaton The throw, toughness and personality of Richie Burnett with Ted Hankey walk on music and the 9 darter celebration of Dean Winstanly. Mr Brightside always reminds me of Dean Winstanly as it was his original theme.richieburnettrocks18-06-2025
- Most of the players are already whinging about playing to much, unless something else is going to be axed where will another couple of competitions be squeezed in?Mysstree16-06-2025
- Indeed. The kid should grow up. Part of the game.SheGotLegs16-06-2025
- i also didn't see littler kicking off about this issue when it was his fans whistling and putting off opponents, which was happening on the regular during his first year on tour. humphries had to deal with it basically every time they played each other.colt16-06-2025
- Brilliant, Eric knew the risks and like most who die his age, bollox to being old and all that. Fair play to him and the rest of those who die young doing the same thing.Plaza15-06-2025
- So all of a sudden Littler is just a kid and it’s unfair as the Media’s darling golden boy gets the grief, never a problem though was it while it was Gerwyn Price. Been saying this for ages that something needs doing about crowd behaviour but the PDC don’t really care as long as the pissed up punters flock to Premier League night. The worry for the PDC is that as Littler has gone beyond the darts fan base and is the most high profile player in the world there is the risk that he is bigger than the PDC and then others with more clout (government for example) may start telling them to clean up their act. Bazza, Eddie and Porter will hate that.Mysstree15-06-2025
- As much as it's disappointing that England lost,Peter Wright's speculation didn't help himself and Gary either. It is, however, another pointless tournament. So,like the football club world cup,it means absolutely nothingrick6714-06-2025
