Thursday is the final
Players Championship tournament of the season. It is the last chance for players to qualify for the Players Championship Finals via the rankings. The top-64 of the Players Championship Order of Merit may compete in this.
The rankings are now led by Stephen Bunting, who was in his sixth Players Championship final of the season on Wednesday. Chris Dobey is number two, while the top four is completed by Damon Heta and Dave Chisnall.
Gary Anderson, Luke Littler and now Cameron Menzies who won the title on Wednesday now inhabit the top 10. There will be no further change for certain players including Littler and also Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries in 16th and 19th aside from sliding down due to them not playing this week.
Nathan Aspinall, Joe Cullen and even Rob Cross are all only just hanging on to spots in Minehead so a big day waits with a host of players waiting to surge into the top 64.
A total of 125,000 pounds in prize money is distributed at each Players Championship tournament. The winner of the event will receive a check for 15,000 pounds.
