With the final Players Championship tournaments seeing the field for the World Matchplay, the race to the prestigious Blackpool based tournament will conclude with the updated standings below ahead of 16 players from the Order of Merit and 16 from the ProTour colliding later this month.
Defending champion at the World Matchplay is Peter Wright, who won last year's tournament in supreme fashion. 'Snakebite' is currently first in the Order of Merit, but can still be overtaken by Gerwyn Price. Michael van Gerwen is currently third, but could lose his place to Michael Smith. Smith, unlike Van Gerwen, will be playing in the Pro Tour tournaments in Barnsley.
Besides the top 16 of the world ranking, also the sixteen best (not yet qualified) Pro Tour players are set to participate. Nathan Aspinall, Daryl Gurney, Kim Huybrechts and Stephen Bunting, among others, are sure of their place. Martin Schindler, Martin Lukeman and Madars Razma will be making their debuts at the prestigious Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
