Players Championship Order of Merit Update: Top Premier League stars remain adrift after absence as Van Veen still leads
PDCWednesday, 19 March 2025 at 06:00
After the two Players Championship tournaments in Hildesheim, Gian van Veen is still number one on the Players Championship Order of Merit. After eight of the 34 Players Championship events, van Veen is on top with 34,500 pounds.
Chris Dobey, who was missing from Hildesheim this week, is in second place with £29,000, while Ryan Searle is number three with £28,500. Joe Cullen is in fourth place with 28,000 pounds. Behind that is Gerwyn Price in fifth place, while Gary Anderson, Martin Schindler and Rob Cross are in a shared sixth spot.
Kevin Doets moved up to 11th place after reaching two quarter-finals. Jeffrey de Graaf after reaching the final in the second tournament of the week moves up to 22nd. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries have yet to catch light though. The latter sits 13th, while Littler is 31st. Albeit they haven't played all of the tournaments.
Michael van Gerwen is the only player who was involved from the Premier League line-up but he lost very early on the first day and then skipped the second. A golden chance for money on his ranking and he still sits on only £4,500. Work to do for the top names.
The Players Championship series continues on March 31 and April 1 with Players Championship 9-10 in Leicester where important prize money is again at stake. Playing Players Championship tournaments is the only route for players to grant themselves entry to the Players Championship Finals. At the end of the season, the 64 best players get to compete in the final tournament in Minehead.

- 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
