Price becomes 10th world number one in the PDC replacing Van Gerwen after seven-year reign

Gerwyn Price as well as becoming World Champion has also become the new World Number One and the 10th at that in PDC history.
Price added £500,000 to his ranking which in turn saw him do what only Peter Wright was seemingly poised to do before the showpiece event began at the Alexandra Palace.
Since moving to the ranking points system in 2007, Phil Taylor has held the position twice from January 2007 to January 2008 and once more from June 2008 to January 2014 when Michael van Gerwen took top spot.
Price interestingly enough only attended Q-School 15 days after Van Gerwen became World Number One showing the dominance of the Dutchman.
Another Dutchman was top for a short spell in the intervening period between Taylor's reigns. Raymond van Barneveld topped the PDC Order of Merit for six months between January and June 2008.
Other World Number Ones include Alan Warriner-Little, Dennis Priestley, Rod Harrington, Peter Manley, John Part, Colin Lloyd and Taylor who all hit top spot before the Order of Merit system was introduced.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
