Smith swaps with Van Gerwen to return to World Number Three spot in updated PDC Order of Merit
PDCTuesday, 12 July 2022 at 16:00
The PDC Order of Merit has been updated after the latest round of Players Championship action with one major change in the top four as Michael Smith has swapped once again with Michael van Gerwen.
Smith is now onto £645,750, with Van Gerwen on £645,000 meaning a change could occur again post World Matchplay but as a result of the Green Machine's decision to halt his return to the oche after surgery, Smith accrued enough to overtake him in Barnsley.
This in turn handed Van Gerwen a horror quarter which includes Luke Humphries, Joe Cullen and James Wade and he will face Adrian Lewis.
The other change in the top 10 sees Jonny Clayton after reaching the final of Players Championship 21 swap places with Dimitri van den Bergh going into World Number Eight. Further down, PC21 winner, Brendan Dolan swapped with Daryl Gurney going into World No.23.
While there were also rises for Ross Smith (#32), Adrian Lewis (#35), Martin Schindler (#43) and Dutch trio Ron Meulenkamp, Maik Kuivenhoven and Raymond van Barneveld with Andrew Gilding in 67th also edging towards the top 64.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
